Hi,
I am new to this hobby, and on experts advise on the forum, I made my own coop.
It coast me around $100 as I have some plywood at home. If I don't have it, it may cost me 150-180.
At first, I was also trying to buy the ready made coops, but they are very cheaply made. They were shaky only...
I'm raising them for eggs
So you are suggesting that my chicken should have at least 18% protein and 2% calcium food, right?
And should I start the grower food now or wait.
Right now I'm feeding Purina brand.
For what age is the grower food. I'm looking at a book in which it states that I can feed grower with starter from day one
Quick question:
Until what age do I have to feed the starter food to the Buff Orpington. our checks are almost 3 months and doesn't seem interested in the starter food and always looking for something else. Today they flew over the fence to my neighbor's house, I think in search of food.
Please...
Done
Please see the pictures.
One question. I put Berral bolt on the doors. Is it true that a cat and raccoon are smart enough to open it.
Thank you

I am working on it
Couldn't spent more time due to exams.
The chicks are growing real fast and they need bigger home very soon.
I may be able to finish this weekend due to long weekend.
Thanks for your concern.
I used the word force just because I couldn't decide on keeping the chicken, but my kids always wanted to have some pet. They had a beautiful healthy genie pig which passed away after 8 years living with us. Since than my kids asking me to get something and I was keep making excuses. Anyway the...
I am going to keep 4 hens as my city code only allows 4. Considering 4sq ft per bird, 3x6 should be good enough. Some later time i may add one extra floor in it
Okay I am planning to make my own. 3x6 inside measurements just for the cabin. Please advise if it is a good size for 4-6 hens.
For ventilation, should I make a permanent opening or it should have a closing window so I can close it in winter.
And do hen need roosting bar.
Yesterday I went to the tractor factory to get the idea for DIY and to see what they have. The red barn style was on display. The quality is very cheap. I pushed a panel with my thumb and it seems it was taking apart.
Anyway the idea I got to follow the same size of red barn, but the 2nd floor...
