    Swing-set converted coops

    Back in 2010 I took my kids old wooden swing set, and converted it into a chicken coop. For the most part I used recycled wood (I am not a conservationist just cheap) Over all the coop has worked out wonderfully. I have had the coop and chickens for almost 7 years now. I would like to know if...

    chicken droppings

    I need to ask if the way I am handling my chicken droppings is appropriate. I have 3 hens and I clean out their coop about once every two weeks. I take the droppings and wood shavings (About 50 / 50 ) and place them at the bottom of my fruit trees. I have been doing this for about 4 months. I...

    Brooding Barred Rock

    My Barred Rock is brooding. All of my chickens lay in the same box. I want to push her out and grab the eggs. Will this hurt her or stress her. Will she fight for them? I do not want to hurt her but need to get the eggs.

    WOW, look at this!!! DONE and Updated with new pictures!

    I don’t think your coop is built right, there are some major problem--------- “JUST KIDDING” -------it is beautiful. I now hate my coop. I will be tearing mine down and burning it. If your husband is every in southern CA please ask him to stop by my house.

    Why are my chicks so afraid of me??

    I used food to gain the trust of mine. At first the rejected some of the types of treats I tried but I found that raisins and especially crickets work well. Mine run to me now. I have 2 RIR and one Barred Rock. My BR is reluctant but the RIR’s are very friendly.

    Any Suggestions for Bedtime?

    I have looked at your coop on your web-page. It is very nice. The ramp is a bit steep. Mine is too. My chicks were reluctant at first but when I added the cross steps they starting using the coop regularly. Decrease the angle and add cross steps every 4 inches is my advice. Good Luck
