    see my page- we used pallets to frame our coop (and we are NOT builders!!!)

    Post pictures of your run

    I am pretty much done with my new coop, but can not move my chickens in until I have a run in place. I just canʻt quite decide how I want to build my run. I would appreciate if you post pictures of your runs so I can get some good ideas.

    New coop

    I donʻt know about covering the walls, it doesnʻt look like any of my chickens are small enough to fit in there and get stuck.

    New coop

    Right now we have 6 hens and 2 roosters living in two tractors. The tractors work well, but I would like the chickens to have more room- so we are building a coop. Look on my BYC page to check out the coop in progress. So far we have used mostly recycled materials. We did have to buy the paint...

    Chicken run questions....

    www.oklahomahistory.net/chickencoop.html I hope this link works. This coop has a floor of 3 wood pallets, I am going to use 4 so it will be slightly bigger. I am considering having the yard be 20 feet by 20 feet, but split down the middle so each yard will be 20 by 10.

    Pullet roosting on top of hen??

    I posted awhile ago about my one depressed hen and introducing her to our new pullet. Well they are now living happily together, no fighting, no depression etc.... (I know everyone says you shouldn't just have two chickens, don't worry we have some chicks, but they just are not ready and neither...

    Feeding a mixed flock

    I was going to ask the same thing. I am going to be putting a laying hen (currently eating layer feed) and a pullet (currently eating grower feed) together and am not too sure about the feed issue. In Raising Chickens for Dummies it says that you shouldn't feed the layer feed until they start...

    Adding pullet with depressed Adult hen

    Thank you so much. We did a much longer meet and greet semi-unsupervised (hen and pullet couldn't see me) yesterday. There was a little bit of pecking, but nothing too bad. I think I am going to do this for a couple more days then add them both to a different coop in the evening.

    Adding pullet with depressed Adult hen

    I recently bought 3 young hens. Not too sure how old, but had just started laying- then tragedy struck. A dog attacked and we lost two of the three chickens. The remaining chicken was okay, but depressed. Wouldn't eat, wouldn't drink, wouldn't leave the coop, and stopped laying. A friend gave...
