    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    On the back side it has a run the length of the entire front that's gated in with a separate door into the back where the eggbox is. That's where we keep the broody when she had her chicks so the bigger ones could get used to them. We also have a large fenced in area that surrounds the entire...

    I just can't get no respect.

    We have a lot of coyotes where we live which can be trouble for our hens. We hear them howling really close to the house at night, a whole mess of them. We shoot them and the sheep farmer that is about a mile away traps them and kills them. We don't see that many in person but we sure do hear them.

    Yah, if I were to see that I would have shot the dog on the spot.

    can i let my baby chicks roam outside a little?

    That's awesome! Mine do the same now too. Their anxiety goes WAY down when I am in the coop with them, or if I am sitting outside the coop letting them graze a bit. When bringing out one of the 1 year old hens with the babies they tend to follow her around and eat what she's eating. It's really...

    What treat did your chickies get today?

    Since we have a garden I will feed my chicks lettuce. They shred it apart almost instantly. I also give them clover (not as much now because it's harder to find mixed in with the grass). Then the normal scratch treat. I make sure I am out there with them (usually after work) with them and...

    week old baby chick dying?

    I had about a month and a half old Roo that got really lethargic and was always laying down in the corner or behind something. He wouldn't come out with the others when i brought them lettuce or clover. After about the third day I tried to feed him water.. BIG MISTAKE that I will never make...

    Stir Crazy in Brooder?

    We had bought 8 chickens that were supposed to all be female, and there was one of them that wouldn't allow us to hold him, and he would scurry away (when in the box). Turned out he was a male. When we had our first bunch it seemed as they got older they went a little stir crazy and wanted to...

    Broody hen raising chicks/ do I need a nursery?

    We just had 9 eggs hatch about a month and a half or two months ago. 8 of them lived. The first few days we kept them inside the chicken house and put up a 2x4 in front of the doggy door so other chicks could get in but the babies couldn't get out. After about three or four days they were...

    Polish Crested Rooster mix with Ameraucana and more.

    I have 7 (had 8 but one of our polish crested full bred died) chicks that hatched a month and a half ago. I figured once they were older I would be able to tell them apart, boy was I wrong. One in particular has me stumped. We thought he was a Polish Crested rooster mixed with a Barred...
