Lots of good info. I use lots of pine shavings in my coop and i change it every ten days. We have tray under the shavings so the way my hubby designed the coop the trays slide out and i dump and clean them. I also use a wet dry vac to get anything that doesn't make it on my trays. I live in...
Hi Everyone! I am trying to name my coop and wondered if you all can help me. I have this idea in my head but can't think of the saying that i would hear as a child. It was something people called old ladies who sat around gossiping... MY girls are named after my Grandmothers and my Great...
SO glad it all turned out ok.. We have 5 weeks chicks and when we give them outside free time they are SO hard to round up! Takes a few of us most days to get our bigger one..She is the Head hen in charge and very smart. I am so glad you have all of them safe and sound. I can imagine how...

I would be worried about the dogs too! :thumbsup
Thank you! We actually have 4 now, we had five. We go two initially for my daughter because she is allergic to Cats and dogs. Then after having them a year We ended up rescuing two more from a unhealthy environment and then on a visit to or Reptile Vet for a sick tortoise with a cold he asked...
HI everyone! SO i was over reacting about the bullying they are for sure just figuring things out. My two barred rocks are almost the same size as my Buff Orp so thing's are much more even now. They kinda put one another in place however they cannot be without one another for a second which...
Thank you!! We take them out everyday unfortunately we had rain three days in a row here in Arizona so we couldn't take them out. I never thought to bring in a chunk of the grass to them, So thank you for that. I have noticed the change in their behavior when they go outside. They definitely get...
HI thanks for the response i think it is all settled now! I think that my largest was being very spoiled by my daughter and causing some havoc. She did not single her out all weekend and everything has been fine since. They are in the largest rubber maid you can actually buy. it is quite large...
