    Coop Plans anyone?

    Thanks all for the replies. I was thinking about the diy website, seems perfect but I was a bit skeptical of the hole infomercial aspect of it. Has anyone bought it and used the plans?

    Coop Plans anyone?

    Hi I have six new chicks living in my living room still (week 3) and I really need to move them outside in a few weeks. I had planned to put them in an unused dog pen I have but now that I'm "getting into it" with the whole chicken thing I want to ideally build a coop that allows easy egg...

    Baby chick sick! HELP!!

    Hi I'm so sorry for your loss. I just lost one also, got 8 yesterday in the mail and they were all great and today one had the same symptoms and just died. Wondering from others out there with more experience how common this is. I think I did everything right with the temp and large box with...

    Day Two - sick baby :(

    I loset her:hit. I hope it wasn't something I did. I think I did everything right and read all the info for weeks before they arrived. Any idea how common this is? %-wise? I'm sure weak ones die but it's my first time so I hope it's not a sign of things to come!

    Day Two - sick baby :(

    Thanks for your reply. The box is pretty large - it's an very large tupperware and they have all been crowding into the side with the light (I have it on the side to give them options on the temp). There's at least 60% of the box that they aren't even moving toward b/c it's the cold side. Any...

    Day Two - sick baby :(

    I just got 8 new day old chicks yesterday and they were all very frisky on day one and this morning. But today I have one that is lethargic and just lies there kind of panting. The temp is just about right at 90-95 degrees and the others seem fine. I move the sick on to a separate box, still...

    Did I get a rooster by mistake?

    I received my baby chicks in the mail today from mpc. They are all doing great but one has pasty butt AND this one is also a little darker than the others. I've been trying to clean his/her bottom all day and my husband finally made some progress this evening and we're pretty sure there's a...

    Converting a dog pen

    Thanks Higgins, good to know that chicken wire is effective with plastic ties. I might go for the hardware cloth to be safe but it's comforting to know you'd been ok.

    Converting a dog pen

    Good link in case you are like me and had no clue what hardware cloth is. I think this is at least what we need for the roof, is that what you already have? How did you attach yours? This video should plastic zip ties, I wonder if something would chew through them...

    Converting a dog pen

    I am so glad to find your post! I have the same question. I have a large unused dog pen as well complete with a good sized dog house. Very sturdy on the sides but I am worried about the (lack of) roof. I had two chickens in there a few years ago. They were very happy for about two months...
