    Sanity check? Fixed Coop/Run sizing thoughts.

    15 at a time, 2 batches of Rangers slaughtered at around 10-12 weeks. Possibly 3 batches if timings work out as I do not want to be tending meat birds in the winter.

    Sanity check? Fixed Coop/Run sizing thoughts.

    The center height is 6' at the peak, and I'm only 5' tall. The rear access door for clean out is 4' wide by 2' tall, specifically to address clean out of the coop area. I have a wide cleanout door for my egg flock and it works well. The plain looking rectangle with the 3rd image is the floor of...

    Sanity check? Fixed Coop/Run sizing thoughts.

    I'm looking to raise some meat birds this year, but my yard is not really suitable for a tractor. I have a space where I can set up an 8'x10' run/coop area. (see rough plans I've drawn up below.) I would end up with 48SF of open run, 32SF available under the coop for when the chickens are...

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Oh goodness it's been a while. Our chickens grew out of their awkward teenager phase, and the one I was afraid was going to be a rooster is indeed a hen. They are 2 years old now and laying pretty well still, plus we let them out for a few hours a day and they are excellent at keeping the local...

    Woolyrunnerlady's flock

    Girls are 8 weeks old tomorrow! I swear they have doubled in size since we moved them outdoors. They no longer have any supplemental heat and don't seem to need it. They've discovered that they love red leaf lettuce and strawberries. Red is looking more like a pullet and less like a cockerel at...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Shiver. 🥶 The winds picked up a bit on me, and it is a workday anyways. Other than that fertilize the garlic and check the progress of peas, radishes, beets, and arugula. This weekend I've got a lilac bush to relocate, hellebores, columbine, and whatever that other plant I bought the other...

    Woolyrunnerlady's flock

    4 chickens, all from Tractor Supply. 2 Silver Laced Wyandottes, and 2 Austalorps. Pet birds, not show birds clearly! Red has a single comb, not the rose comb that SLW's are supposed to have. Janet looks like she is going to be a bit spotty on the lacing. Big Girl and Dunny (the Australorps)...

    Get chickens they said...

    Was just out encouraging them out of the coop and into the sunshine and snagged a few pics of the SLWs. Janet is in the foreground, pretty sure she's a she. Red is in the background, and I'm not convinced that it isn't a cockrel. The Australorp in the second photo is Dunny, the other one (Big...

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? This is the first I've kept chickens since I was a kid over 30 years ago. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? We have 4 chicks right now. They are 6 weeks old today and have been in the outdoor coop for a week. (3) What...
