Hi Ben. Wow, I love what you have here! I really do! It looks like the girls have enough run space and the barn and tree look like they have shade on hot days when they need shade, the barn looks great, so they have protection there. It doesn't appear that you need anything else, other than...
:weeSince I purchased VetRx a little over a year ago, I have had success in using it on my girls. I have a hen, that from time-to-time sneezes, or swallows a piece of something that's too large for her and recently, her comb was injured and bloody by one of the other hens. I brought her inside...

Hello Backyard Chicken families. I pray that your backyard flocks are faring well. My girls are faring well as of this date and time. I was wondering, with the possibility of a recession in the weeks or months remaining in 2022, have anyone any ideas for supplement feeding the...

Hi there VickisChickis. I have been looking for an old fashion way of opening my chicken coop's front door without the heavy price tag. I'm old and retired, and must do things on a tight budget. I could not recall how my deceased husband set things like this up. I sure do thank...
Hi BackYard Chicken members. I'm am trying to figure out a way to close the hinged door on the chicken coop at dusk. I am retired so I am searching for an old-world way of closing the door at night without me going into the covered coop yard.

I like your chicken coop! Looks like you put a lot of planning into the design. I like that you insulated the nesting box with white foam. I also like the sloped roof and the power outlets. Fantastic job!

Okay, I have had my challenge for this evening. I finally found out where to post, that I am a new B. Smile. I refuse to say it's because I am journeying toward 72 next Sunday. LOL! If I get this correct, I'm going to fix my dinner before my brain goes out of order. Smile. 70sLaverna
I collected 2 eggs from the 3 young Brahma hens. They normally lay 3 sometimes together as they sing their cute laying songs. And then they get loud like they are calling me to come and get them.
Hi there FastGreenGarden. Wow! I like your chicken coop and every thought that went into building it. I agree, about the wood prices skyrocketing. I had to build another coop because my girls grew bigger than I thought and knew they would. The price in all stores, (Ace, Lowes & Home Depot) more...
Hi there! Thank you so much for the egg-laying course education. You have answered questions that I have been wanting an answer to. Thank you for all of the time you have put into your research and writing. Double wonderful article.
The teal-colored coop above was completed using scrape plywood last week before the rain returned. I am trying to design a chicken run. Went back to Lowes, The Home Depot, and Ace Hardware this past week of April 27, 2021. The wood has more than doubled. So, I purchased PVC pipes. Lord willing...
