    Sleeping in nesting box

    Lowest roost is higher than nest boxes, they are off to both sides and stick out of the coop. Lowest roost is 14” off of ground each subsequent is 10” higher. The roosting bar is 6 foot long.

    Sleeping in nesting box

    we used LP siding panels. It is a laminated plywood. We built my father in laws shed from it 30 years ago, painted it and it still looks great! We got it at Lowe’s. Not much more than plywood if that helps.

Weird dynamic with my roo abs his emerging hormones. Tries to bully me but I won’t have it. (Don’t tell anyone, but...

    Hi! I have 15 hens and one rooster in my flock. I just recently finished my coop and run and they had been in a large pen for three months.

    Bush beans and pole beans question?

    Pole beans usually do produce more but if you have a tight space bush beans are great. I actually find the bush beans more tender. Watering schedule should be the same as pile beans. Bush beans are fast growers so there is still time for a harvest this year if you want. 😁

    Lush Brahman pullet or roo

    Hi. I bought two light Brahman 12 weeks ago. I’m wondering if one of my pullets may be a roo. The “suspect” is much bigger than the other, red more developed facial features but I’m still unsure. Any help would be appreciated.
