Well, I am posting this to half vent, half whine... I apologize in advance. After two years of hinting, DH finally decided to hop on the chicken-mobile. I drew up my shed renovation plans, planned and replanned my flock, picked out feeding, watering, etc. stuff, and my day-old ship date...

Well, after months and months of research, DH and I decided to remodel one of our sheds into a coop. It is 8x16, with a garage door on it. I think the door is 10 ft wide. This whole time I have been thinking we would remove it and replace it with a man door, but as I was looking out the...

Hey everyone! Here I am, yet again, hoping for some help... I am getting ready to place an order for 16 mixed day old chicks from Meyer Hatchery. I'm in Western PA, they are in Ohio. Not sure if this matters. Anyway, they will fill small orders, which is why I chose them. I'm ordering them...

My DH and I are in the planning stages of getting our first chickens in the spring. We are going to have an 8x8 coop, and were planning on getting 2 each of the following: Buff Orps, Black Aust., Barred Rocks, SLWyandottes (how is that pronounced, anyway), and EE. In the meantime, I have...

Hello everyone! I am so glad to finally have a reason to be here! I have been a wanna-be chicken owner for two years, and after some gentle nudging (ok, begging, pleading), my hubby has finally given in. Also, those two years were spent having my now 2 yr old daughter and 6 month old son, and...
