    I plan to get it all prettied up and the critters crawling within days of getting my keys. I have 5 different breeds of various aged chicks getting ready to go and two more breeds to get.

    I've been here since 2005, moving about ten miles to a 5 acre mini farm set up. Here's the coop, it opens up to half an acre fenced in. Cant wait to get set up

    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    I'm about to move this week or next, so I'm in the waiting boat too. Luckily there's a coop ready and waiting with only minor things needed. Waiting is worse than the building part by far

    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    Watch the Fayetteville Craigslist and OKC Craigslist if you are not already. I see the breed you want constantly . Colors and age vary. Sand springs has a 3 year old yesterday posted. Not sure if he is good for your color request though. Good luck on your search, my search is like looking for...

    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    Ok, first off I'm located northeast Oklahoma and I've been switching from game chickens to layers/ dual use. I am having a difficult time tracking down sources of Light Sussex chickens. I was hoping that someone might just happen to know somebody that has a few or even a pair and I'll raise...

    Brooder???

    Where the pen is open wire on bottom, I have used a solid floor under the wire for easy cleaning. A length of plywood cut to fit makes a floor to walk on and just lower the plywood down and clean everything. When done replace board and a good cleaning is done in minutes without reaching inside...

    Needing thoughts on what is needed for my new coop

    My game chickens I had were another world compared to these layers. They would not stay under a roof except in the morning on foggy days and the roosts better be at the ceiling. The top hens in the flock would roost higher than all others even if it meant trying to stand in anothers head

    Needing thoughts on what is needed for my new coop

    I guess what I'm asking is just lay the roost flat on the poop board? That's what it looks like but coming from my game chickens they would have a fit if there was not higher spots

    Needing thoughts on what is needed for my new coop

    There is wire holding the roosts up. how low should they sit? It looked to me that they would sit flat on the nest boxes if let down

    Needing thoughts on what is needed for my new coop

    Oh and I have usually kept 20 to 30 birds at one time. Not sure how many I'll try for now. Oops I lied, I found one of the outside that I did not take

    Needing thoughts on what is needed for my new coop

    I took the picture and haven't started using it till yesterday. Yes wire is holding them all up. How do those roosts sit for those birds to use? 17 nest boxes were counted, I'm not moved in yet so other pictures have to wait till we get the keys (any day now) I'm not sure how old it is, but...

    Needing thoughts on what is needed for my new coop

    My new house comes with a new coop, so I'm switching to layers and dual use birds from game chickens. I need to do a cleaning, put litter down and brace the roosts better. I would appreciate any ideas that anyone may have. My games would stay in the cedar trees regardless of weather so I'm lost...

    How can I save my chickens from skunks?

    Skunks get into the chickens around here all the time in Oklahoma, their calling card is normally just the eggs but they really like to eat the crops out of the hens too if they are hungry. Live traps are extremely messy to remove a skunk, unless a short solid plastic box is used to keep the...

    *Is very bored...*

    The barred rock looking one looks like an older version of the barred rock day olds I saw today. They had no wings to have stripes though

    New to the BYC

    Hello fellow chicken people, I've been watching this site for a few years now and finally decided I was tired of just reading along. I've recently switched from 30+ game hens into the land of Wyandotte and Sussex and not sure what else to come. This really is the most informative place I have...
