Syracuse, Utah. Quite a ways away :) Something I didn't expect I'd ever be doing but must admit, it's a funny type of enjoyment you get out of it. Ought to see me chasing after them now and then when one gets out. Quite hilarious.

Enjoying the Hens

Sure is a release after a long day's work (and drive) to check on the mini flock! Also nice to get up before the drive to work and go out to check on them an see how they're all doing. Currently have my faithful Plymouth Barred Rock just over a year old, my Silver Laced Wyandotte acquired about...

I have been hunting very hard for a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte hen here in Utah. Any chance you could sell me one or two and I would look into shipping costs?

I do appreciate your time in answering! Thank you.

I sure hope you're right. Just never heard one crow a full cock a doodle do type sound just like a rooster. Most everyone I've asked tell me, "No...Hens don't do that". Guess some of them don't know? Thanks much for the reply.

Very much a cock a doodle doo crow.

I just picked up a couple of Silver Laced Wyandotte Hens (I think?). I had two 1 year old Plymouth Barred Rock hens but they really started beating up on the darker of the two SLW's. Tore about a 1" wide by 4" long block of feathers off the back of the neck along with some puncture wounds. I...

That's funny! I like this one. I thought of the extension idea as well. Originally thought I'd get only 3 hens so we'll see? Maybe adding a fourth room-wise might not have been the smartest, but so far everyone seems happy with a lot of room to spare in the roost. They all bunch up and take...

The cleanout end is for a possible bristle brush cleaning once a year, however for everything to fit fine I'm almost too close to the food to make that happen easily. I intentionally planned on going through the wire and to the outside again for just such a situation. Sort of wish I had. Just...

Thank you! I did learn however, make sure those nipples are fitting correctly. I have two hairline leaks. One under the nipple and one where it goes from 4" to 1 1/4". Bummer to find that out after filling up the pipe. :). Waiting for it to drain it's first time or may spray some of that new...

Here's mine.

I ran mine close to a foot high and that is for chicks that are still about 6 weeks from laying. I originally was all worried about that seeing that I used PVC pipe with no easy way to adjust. Unless there is something I'm missing, they can bend, be level, or raise way up when they want to and...

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm currently fencing off the bottom of my vinyl fence. As you might see in the photos, the fence was originally built (not by me!) too high off the ground, so they'll get right under that on both sides of the front of the house. Once I get that up which I'm in the...

I purchased a Kit Coop from Sam's Club this year. A lot of positive, some negative reviews. You know how that goes. More positive than negative though, so I bought it. Afterwards I decided to make it a bit more rodent/snake resistant by buying some treated 2' x 4's, some braces, 1/4" wire mesh...
