One of my hens is missing feathers on her rear, a few inches below her vent. She seems perfectly healthy and happy otherwise. She's the only one of our 12 girls that has this. She had a pretty hard molt last fall and these feathers never really grew back. Any idea why? I've read that mites can...

It looks like the smaller one is still available. http://www.premier1supplies.com/detail.php?prod_id=135875&cat_id=173

Looks great! Can't wait to see the finished project.

It was posted on Facebook by "Living Off the Grid" and someone linked the blog in the comments. I had it bookmarked. It's a lovely coop. :) I'd love to see a picture of yours too. We'll be building ours in the next few weeks. We still have 10 inches of snow in our yard. Yuck!

Thank you so much for the detailed reply. It was very helpful! Would you mind sharing how much it cost to build?

Looks great! We're hoping to build something similar once the snow melts. What size is yours?

I'm sorry to hear about the hawk attack but so glad your hen is recovering. We just got a zone variance to have chickens in our village (getting them in the spring) and we aren't allowed to free range. We're planning on using one of these. Maybe this would be an option for you...

Here are screenshots of the PDF file. I pretty much copied and pasted info from links I found here. I tried to keep it short so they'd read it all. Hope this helps. Good luck!!

Our small village is not zoned for chickens so we applied for a zone variance, argued our case and just received our approval letter today!! Thank you so much to all of you for the wonderful information on this site. I was able to submit paperwork citing the pros of chicken ownership and how we...

How did they vote? We're hoping to get a variance to have chickens in our village just north of Utica. Hope it went well :)
