    Run build help

    I would definitely have to say skirts are a great idea. That's something I still haven't done and regret it. Dang chickens like scratch at the edge if I dont let them out and are making holes on the inside of the coop. Also, insulation of some kind is a good idea for the coop. After spending a...

    Run build help

    If money isn't an issue, I'd recommend dog kennel fencing. You can build it high enough for you to walk under and place a roof on it for both shade and protection from the elements and predators. We bought one from tractor supply that came with roof panels and a tarp. You can obviously build...

    "Easter Egger" laying brown eggs--is this common?

    We bought 2 Egger chicks from TSC in Mar or Apr, same deal for us, I think they're laying brown eggs, I know it's theirs cuz they are significantly smaller than the others. What's really weird is they look kinda like a leghorn.

    EMERGENCY!!!! HEADLESS DEAD CHICKENS!!!!! Warning, picture included.

    The hole is closed and yes, me or my neighbor will kill the owl. We both have chickens, he's lost a couple too. And yes it legal to kill predators in my area if they are killing livestock. I spoke to the Game Wardens when we had a hawk problem.

    EMERGENCY!!!! HEADLESS DEAD CHICKENS!!!!! Warning, picture included.

    No they sleep in a box. You can't even stick a pinky through the fencing I have on the coop. However, there was an open space on top. That's probly how the owl got in.

    EMERGENCY!!!! HEADLESS DEAD CHICKENS!!!!! Warning, picture included.

    Spoke to my dad after I posted this. For those that don't already know, he told me owls n coons like to eat just the heads. We have an owl that flies around sometimes so it made sense to me that's the culprit. Hard part is gonna be killin it cuz I'm not staying up all night to wait for it...

    What should a newbie start with?

    If you've got toddlers or pets, I'd say get some Wyandotte chicks. Great demeanor around kids, ours like to come over and get pet, sometimes they try to get in the truck with us if we leave the doors open. We've had ours since April and they've gotten to where they'll let me pick them up without...

    Eggs Everywhere

    My chickens are finally beginning lay, the only problem is I'm finding a few eggs on the porch instead of the coop. Any suggestions how to insure they lay in their coop? And no smart ass answers like keep them in the coop.
