3/7 My first EE egg today. YEAH!! My hens are finally laying.

The bunnies are kept outside year around. They have a covered litter box that they hang out in. That keeps them warm because there body heat heats up the small box and they are out of the wind. So far the only problem we have had is the water freezing. They do required more food during the...

Our bunny hutch is on concrete and has two levels. The top has walls on three sides with the front is mesh wire doors. The floor is solid and covered in vinyl. The bunnies are litter box trained so it is pretty easy to clean out the hutch. We cut a pop door and made a ramp down to the lower...

Congratulations on the first egg. I am sure your hens will figure out the nesting box but you may try adding a fake egg (golf ball, old white door knob, glass egg) to the nest box. This will help show the ladies where you want the eggs.

Sorry but that gives me the creepy crawlies with some heebie jeebies mixed in. Snakes are bad enough but feeding it to the pigs. YUCK! I am not really surprised they liked it but YUCK!

that is great. I like that it only cost around $100. The canvas sounds like a good idea. Do you still like it after the birds have been in and living in the coop?

in my experience from my parents flock (this is my first flock of my very own) the buff orpingtons and the barred rocks and also rhode island reds are all good heat/cold tolerant and lay really well. This is just my opionion so keep looking for what works for you. Good luck finding what you want.

Wow I still have about 12 weeks to go before I can even get hopeful. I can't wait to gather my own eggs. I don't think that the thrill ever weres off. My kids and I still love to gather grandma's eggs. Good luck getting those hens to lay!

For the first time in my life I have my very own chickens. My parents have had them all of my life but now I am settled enough to have 8 of my own. Right now they are living in a box in my laundry room and hoping to have a house of there own soon. We are looking forward to collecting brown...
