Thats one reason we didnt want to buy anything from a store or online. It would be more expensive, harder to modify, and smaller than starting with a cabinet.
I'll be sure to account for that in my modifications. We will also be gettibg bantams instead of full sized chickens. Ventilation has been my number one concern, and I'll check out the thread. Keep in mind:
- Coop is not finished -
I'll ignore the snarky misuse of an aviation pun, and say...
1) Coop still isn't finished
2) It was just assumed I had no intention of making it bigger.
3) No advice was offered, just criticism with no constructive feedback.

People have different tactics when raising parrots. You can keep a large bird in a smaller cage provided they spend significant amounts of time outside the cage. You have provided criticism but nothing actually constructive, not only that you glazed over 2 details that ive said. When the time...

We will try that. Hopefully the lab testing isnt too pricey or time consuming. We'll keep yall updated. If you have any other advice we are all ears in the meantime.
We will get pics in the morning. We got her and her sibling from a farmers market. Her sibling so far has shown 0 of the symptoms she is currently exhibiting. We live in, and purchased birds in Upstate SC. The birds did come from the same gentleman. Both girls are eating and drinking, albeit the...
We arent totally sure. Just know she's laying age. We want to get chicks when Tractor Supply has them but also wanted to get a 2 grown hens for eggs.
Im hoping the vet rx works. Not sure what else to try. The antibiotics arent exactly cheap and for the price of the antibiotics we could get 2...
So my wife and I decided to get each other chickens for valentines day. We've been researching how to care for chickens for some time now and decided to get some bluff rock chickens (I may have the breed name wrong as I get them mixed up all the time). However after getting them home and setting...
