    10x20 shed to coop conversion layout

    10x20 shed to coop conversion layout

    Hi, I am hoping to get some feedback on a coop design that I cannot seem to decide on. I currently have 2 coops (each with 20 chickens). I have found a 10x20 shed that I am purchasing to convert to a coop for all 40 birds and to have them closer to the house, I hate that the old coops are far...

    Thank you. I was thinking that’s what I should probably do, but wasn’t sure.

    Guinea fowl and hens..

    A little bit of background on the situation: I currently only have 3 hens (lost 4 about a month ago, due to a loose neighbor dog), 1 rooster, and 6 guinea fowl. All of my birds were raised together and I’ve never had any issues....until now. After losing the 4 hens, I’ve been noticing that the...

    I feel awful...

    Thank you. You are close, I’m about 20 mins south of Benzie. Everything was normal this morning and when I was out midday... I was home and never heard the guinea fowl, which I normally would if anything is out of the ordinary. I’m wondering if it happened while I was in the shower and that’s...

    I feel awful...

    At about 5 pm today, I went out to find 4 dead hens. It was clearly an attack by something... none were drug off or eaten. All had some obvious signs of trauma. It was still 2 hours before dusk... I hadn’t seen anything out of the ordinary. Do you seasoned folks think this was a dog? I have 30...
