    Oh, my loyal husband is the Holder.

    My 'shabby chic' chicken coop built under arched cabin's deck

    I tried using the yellow tree car air fresheners and by Jove, they seemed to make a difference. I used 6 of them in a 4' x 7' coop. (They free range and only sleep in the coop so there wasn't THAT much poop.)

    Tired of Silkies Running Into Things - Scissor Suggestion?

    I tried to trim the feathers around their eyes, but even my small scissors made me nervous. Does anyone have any really good go-to type of scissors to suggest?

    What? What? - Hen growing spurs!

    I came here cause my 5 year old girl just grew one spur. Big one too! Henopause is full of miracles. Glad it's nothing abnormal.

    What do you recommend?

    Whenever you cook burgers, bacon, whatever - put some oatmeal in the greasy pan when you're done. It will soak up all the grease AND become a chicken favorite. They know full well when I'm carrying the oatmeal bowl out to the run. And don't buy premade flock blocks - everyone and their sister...

    Comment by 'Jerhanner' in article 'Chicken Math 101 – with Quiz!'

    My husband is a logical man; I'm saving this to show him when he questions how 4 chickens became 8, and now 11.

    Silicone mat on the bottom of coop for ease of cleaning?

    You know those rubber mats for shoes and boots? I put that under the roost and then throw in the shavings. Then on light-clean weekends, I only have to pull out that mat for 80% of the poop.

    A visual - adult chickens in Producer’s Pride Sentinel Coop

    Hey! That was our first coop!. Now it's our hospital/maternity/time-out coop. Be very religious about getting snow off the roof or it'll be shot in 4 years (an easy fix, but still...). Super smart perch idea too.

    How Many Do I Have Room For?

    I make sure to shovel them a path to the summer house and the sun house. I also put straw bales against the front of the coop in the winter and they love hanging out underneath the coop - that way they can still have little dirt baths in the winter!

    How Many Do I Have Room For?

    Guess who has room for 4 more chickens if she adds one more vent to the coop?!

    How Many Do I Have Room For?

    Oh, I could care less about the inbreeding; I just didn't want mutant chickens. I have the nicest rooster in the universe and don't want to give him up! If it really is a 'normal' thing, then straight line breeding it is!

    How Many Do I Have Room For?

    The door is blocking it - but there is a 'summer house' back there which I use as the nursery.

    How Many Do I Have Room For?

    Right now I have 8 ladies and a gentleman. My Broody Girl is currently sitting on 5 eggs, and I'm wondering how many more I have room for? Follow up: is 'trading roosters' a thing to keep the inbreeding at zero?

    How soon can you identify male chick?

    I sure can't until I hear that first cockadoodledoo!

    I'm Ashamed I'm Even Asking This...

    We let Moxie go broody last year, and she hatched one tiny little peeper. We kept mom and baby in their own little coop inside the run so everyone could get to know each other until mom decided to move into the big coop. The little peeper seemed like a normal chick; curious and hungry and not...
