    Vickibiros Chicken Coop

    My husband and I started our chicken coop last year with the help of information we found here on BYC. His ideas were always bigger than mine and he came up with this design He built this small model on a rainy day because he was anxious to get started and had to do something. We started...

    good thing I didn't see this coop before we started builing....

    Wow, I am moved by this post and the thought that anyone would even think enough to start it. I am humbled always by the kindness of others and it always seems to come at just the right moment. Finances have been so tight in this last year and getting tighter and tighter but I know that if I...

    Preparing for sand???

    I add a bag or two to the dirt already in there with a bag of pea gravel every now and then, the girls love it, they scratch and peck their way through it and I don't even have to spread it out

    Kentucky people

    Hi everyone, been so long since I've been here I got my first egg today (made my day!) Anyway, I have 3 roosters and 22 hens. The roosters are just too protective. I thought about letting them free range but I know something would kill them. Anyway, one is a beautiful Black Australorp, I...

    I Lost My Best Friend My Husband Bill

    the site depressed me more in the beginning but now it is more valuable to me that just about anything I do. I love it there and draw a lot of inspiration from the people there.

    I Lost My Best Friend My Husband Bill

    I think that we are at the point now where all the initial adrenaline has left our bodies. I slept for a couple of days and am trying to take care of my body the best way I can but I still am not back to myself. Point is, you can't expect so much from yourself. Babysteps girl, go easy on...

    I Lost My Best Friend My Husband Bill

    listen to Portage Girl and let people help I had so much help in the first month after Scott's death. The help started waning off and it was a relief because I needed time alone. But there are still people who help me. Just today someone came and took me out to Cracker Barrel for a late...

    chickens afraid to go out the pop door!

    They are sillly and loads of fun. They are going in and out the door just fine now but not using the roosts or the nesting boxes. They would much rather fight over who gets to sit on top of the waterer and poop on it.

    I Lost My Best Friend My Husband Bill

    Hang in there girl, sometimes grief is like waves of the ocean. Some are easier to ride than others. I feel like I just got smacked in the head with a Tsunami this morning. But a little coffee, a hot shower and hopefully things will get a little better. Days like this I can't hope for a...

    I Lost My Best Friend My Husband Bill

    that's normal to be so tired according to both my doctor and my therapist. Give yourself permission to be tired. Grief is hard work. I am tired too. It's eight weeks for me today. Hard still to wrap my head around what has happened. Nothing matters to me like it did before. The whole...

    A Place for BYC Widows and Widowers

    not at all stupid that you want him to come back home. I actually expect Scott to come home any time now. It really only sets in when little things happen. Like when I grab four forks for the table instead of the three that we actually need. When I left my advising appointment at school...

    A Place for BYC Widows and Widowers

    Hi Wolftracks - you aren't alone. I found my husband dead out behind our chicken house he was building on June 12, 2010. I attempted to revive him, he didn't respond so I ran in the house to call 911. The company we had for the weekend immediately started CPR while I was on the phone. He...

    I Lost My Best Friend My Husband Bill

    It's been 7 weeks since my husband died and I still pick up four forks to take to the table instead of the three we need now. I just keep the fourth one next to me. One of these days I guess I won't do that but until then I try to keep the memories of him eating at that table sweet. That's...

    chickens afraid to go out the pop door!

    The coop is finally done. I loaded them in their new home last night, locked them inside all night and opened the pop door about 6:30 this morning and got one of the girls and put her outside thinking the others would get the hint and go out. Instead she came back in and they are all huddled...

    Wire on top of the run question

    I have surrounded my entire run with 2"x4"x6' welded wire. Around the bottom of the run I put 36" hardware cloth, about a foot of it laying on the ground and covered with about 4" of dirt and running up the fence as far as it would go attached with zip ties. I also used the hardware cloth to...
