I got up this morning as I do everyday, went down let the dog out the back door. I went out with him threw the chicken feed on the ground and went back inside leaving my dog outside, just like any other day that my wife or I do it. Came back down about an hour later and my wife sees dog with...

In the new Hobby farms mag. I saw an ad for snaplock chicken coops, made out of plastic much like little tykes stuff. I was wondering if anyone has used or heard of using them? Website at this time is under "construction" and just one youtube video on it. I find it hard to believe that the...

Does or has anyone ever been to this auction? Usually it's a seymour auction but this one is a Mike's auction. Just curious before I go down on Sunday. FYI Clarke county fairgrounds poultry and small animal auction, consignment from 7-2, auction starts at 2 pm.

I have 3 cat litter boxes for 7 chickens. One they have all decided to poop in. (I put it in the wrong place) But they all seem to use just one of them. If I put a few boxes with straw on the floor of the coop would they use them? I have chickens sitting on top of each other and one that hardly...

My run is very muddy due to recent rains and it smells. I bought stall dry today but do I just sprinkle it around? Cover it? I'm not sure how to clean up this mess.

I have some RIR's and MAY be getting some Aracauna's. Numbers are equal as they are 6 and 6. Thae Ara's are about a month behind the RIR's. Can I expect any trouble between them other then maybe a usual tussel or so? Thanks Steve

I have a question, In my coop my birds actually wait to use the ramp to get to the porch of the coop, not unusual but the porch is only about 6 inches off the ground. I would think that they would just hop up on it and walk in but no they all wait in line as the night comes. So the question is...

this is our new coop, really a 4x6 playhouse with a 2x4 porch. great roosting tops that can't bee seen. they go in and out like it is always been theirs. The run is 13x11 with cattle fencing and 4x4's as posts. fencing goes into ground but ground is rocky to add a layer of protection from...

In my other post I told of the playhouse coop, well the floor is of cedar, and after reading all or well most of the posts on here I think I am going to change it, be it paint,linoleum, or just straight hay. I am not doing wood chips in the coop. thoughts on this thanks steve

What do you guys think of a landscape timber built coop? Kinda like a log home for chickens. No floor and due to lay of the land the timbers have to have at least one layer in the dirt. Opinions please Steve I figure the timbers are the walls so I can cut out the OXB board or siding costs...

Hello all, found this site thru a woman down the road who raises chickens. Of course after my wife "impulse" bought 12 chicks. So we have been "lurking" for about a week now. Chicks are 10 RIR, 2 Banhams, about 3 weeks on 5/12/09. P.S. they grow fast don't they? LOL Steve
