    Daily routine with your flock

    We have been working on our chicken run for a year. It wasn't quite finished when my daughter informed us that she and her family were moving to North Carolina from California. She has four chickens that just started laying and she can't keep them. My husband said we would take them so the...

    Old feed

    What is the shelf life of chicken feed? My daughter gave me a huge bag of feed as a gift when she heard we wanted chickens but we were nowhere near ready for them. We are still building the run! I have had the feed for a year stored in a food grade blue barrel in the garage. Should I just...

    Chicken Run Design Questions

    We are in the middle of building our chicken run. Our coop is inside a run that is about 16' x 16'. Should the door to the run open in or out or does it matter? My husband wants to build the run with half the roof being solid and the other half with only 1/4 hardware cloth. I don't think it...
