    How to teach chickens to come out of coop.

    My 6 and 8 week old chickens won’t come out of the coop to the run. One will come down the ramp and then run right back up, occasionally 2-3 at a time will come down dust bathe quick and then run back in. It’s beautiful out 70’s and sunny. How do I get them to enjoy their time outside? I have...

    Moving chicks to garage.

    Hello I currently have 4 golden Sebright 4 weeks old and 6 silkie bantams 2.5 weeks old. I was brooding them in my house in a 50 gallon tote until today. The space had become way to small and the seabrights needed more room to spread their wings. Today I set up a 4x4 dog gazebo up in the garage...

    Bantam coop

    Thank you I love the idea of adding a shelf! My city allows 6 chickens no roosters so I am excited that I potentially could have six. I am currently brooding seabrights, splash silkies, Black silkies, and Bantam Easter Eggers. 2 friends will be taking any rooster or hens that I will not be able...

    Bantam coop

    Hello I just received this coop as a gift. It has a 10x6x6 covered run and an enclosed area under the coop for the chicks as well. The chicks will be allowed to free range when I am home during the day, but we do live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan so it will get cold in the winter. I am...
