    Hen sneezing frequently with vocal changes

    The hen in question is a Cinnamon queen, approximately 6-7 months old. She free ranges most of the day with the rest of the flock, but sleeps in a coop with just her and a RIR as they were older and have only been exposed to the new pullets for the last month or so. Two weeks ago she began...

    Gold Standard For Mounted Feeder and Waterer?

    Fair point. I currently have six pullets all 3 - 3.5 months old. I guess they’re about the size of a football? I’ve attached a picture of the run if that is helpful.

    Gold Standard For Mounted Feeder and Waterer?

    I just spent a small fortune having a custom 6x12 coop/run combo built. The ladder up to the hen house takes up a bit of real estate in the run, and so does the 18"x18" bamboo planter I added in there for the hens. At this point I'm thinking a mounted feeder and waterer might make sense just to...

    Thoughts on this coop?

    Fresh chicks with 5-week olds

    I've got some five-week old chicks that I'm currently going through the "look but don't touch" phase with so that I can eventually let them free ranged with my hens. I'm considering picking up some fresh chicks. Would I be safe letting the 5-week old chicks around the fresh chicks when they're...

    Thoughts on this coop?

    I've been going back and forth trying to decide whether I want to build the coop so that it has a door I can walk through, or build it off the ground a little bit with a door that I can lean into, but not walk into the actual coop. Does anyone have experience or opinions on that decision?

    Thoughts on this coop?

    Pretty new to the chicken game. I've been looking for a good coop that would be appropriate for 5-10 hens. I was considering this Overez coop, but reading bit on this forum makes it seem like that's not such a good idea. I found building plans for a somewhat similar coop with a run (see links...

    I had a handful of hens on a five-acre lot back in Washington several years ago. I now live in Austin, TX in a regular suburban house with a regular sized back yard, and decided I wanted some birds again. I initially ordered a "smart coop" and it seemed to me to be of poor quality, so I...
