I'd love to meet others in town with chickens. While speaking to the people who make my automatic door today they told me they have sold over 40 doors in my town. So do you live in Wayne NJ?

My 7 ladies and Roo always marched right into their coop at dusk and we'll before the automatic door closed. Then one or two birds got locked out, then more and now the whole flock won't go in until about 9:30. The coop is clean, lit (lights on from 4 to 10:30), and we'll ventilated. They hang...

This is the first real rainy day since I got my chickens (that is when it's been cold out). My chickens free range in my yard all day. They have three dry options to hang out and forage in. They are currently in the middle of my yard getting soaked. Do I need to lock them up.? Are they dry...

My Roo has been wearing his no crow collar since August. It lowered the volume but didn't stop him from crowing. Today while adjusting it I noticed the area was red and " angry " looking. No open sores. What should I do? Leave it alone? Of course I took it off

Apparently my deck and furniture are perfect for sunning and roosting on. Husband (who is not particularly thrilled to have chicken s in the first place) wants them off due to poop. I gotta give him the deck since the coop took his horse shoe pit / bacci court. How do I get them off? They...

They are Rhode Island Red leghorn mix. The others are dark brown, black speckled and a golden brown.

I have four identical white chickens. At what age will they look different? Can't name them if I can't tell who they are.

When do they roost instead of piling up on each other? My little ladies are still in a pile and I need to know when to put the roosts in their coop.

I have my premade coop ready to use. We made a 8 x 5 hoop coop to act as a run and will add to it for the winter. They free range all day. Currently I lock them into their temporary coop at night, which is inside a temporary run ( not Fort Knox like my hoop coop. If I put my coop inside the...

Thank you. Any idea of the width for the feet ? Three inches? 4?

i need to add roosts to my prefab coop that we just finished modifying. What is a good width? How high off flooring ? Staggered Hight? Thank you.

early this morning our lawn service (who we told no more treating the back yard) came and did treat the back yard. The paper says stay off for 2 or 3 hours. Is that long enough? My ladies are complaining that I didn't let them out of their coop this morning.

Thank you for all of the advice. Made some modifications, caulking , metal braces, stain, glued all seams, roof tiles on top, raised it off the ground 30 and put a solid bottom on it. I have 8 Rhode Island Reds, about 8 weeks, no sure whose going to become a pullet and whose going to be a Ro...

As too building a coop my husband is perfectly capable and has every tool under the sun. He built me a rabbit coop that lasted over ten years. When my bunny died it took two men to take it apart since we were done with outside pets ( I always come home with something cute and furry or now...

Can't open the link. I'm in northern NJ. Unless your upstate near Canada pick up is doable. Zip code? Thank you!

I just had one delivered yesterday. It was the best rated among all that I researched and I spent hours checking out reviews and websites. $450 for just the coop for 6-8 chickens. What a piece of crap! I'm new to chickens but for $450 I'd expect it to be stronger than a doll house. Too...

I bought the "Wrangler" from the Chicken Saloon. My husband just opened the packaging and said it was made cheaply and it is flimsy. My question- aside from the beautiful Amish built coops that I can't afford are all premade coops junk? I don't know if it is worth it to send back a 70 lb...

I'm trying to figure out the proper names of my chicks body parts. A picture diagram etc. Thank you.

Went to the farmers market and came home with 4 two week old chicks. Family is in love. Ran to Mikes Feed Farm in NJ and got a crash course on chickens. Can wait to watch them grow with my kids.
