    The little exit door from coop to run (?)

    I just used an old window, and flipped it so that the opener is on the bottom. It works great and locks closed plus it lets light in either way.

    Chicks and dogs

    I was sooo mad at our dog. Sunday he got into the chicken run, and he killed one of my hens. I thought that he had killed another one, and a couple others were missing, but the one recovered and the others somehow got out in the chaos only to return out of the bushes a few hours later unharmed...

    hmmm. my chickies only go into the coop when it starts to get dark. I don't have a light in there so by the time they're settled its darker in the coop than out.

    The coop is almost ready for the chicks!

    Your right! Looks sortof like mine... very nice. Yours looks a little more sophisticated than mine though. Mine's all just scraps and recycled stuff nailed together.

    How do I fix water problem?

    i've noticed some people mention that they have multiple waterers. Is it important to have a water source outside as well as inside?

    introducing new chicks to coop

    ok, i've seperated them with chicken wire and given each group their own food and water. i'll leave them like that for a few days and see what happens. i've actually left a small opening for the smaller ones to go back and forth if they want to.

    Cold Babies/ Update

    on another post someone said that you should lock them in the coop for several days before you let them out. that way they know it's home. have you tried locking them up for some time first? if so just ignore what i said.

    Probably should have thought first...

    as long as they can't reach it to peck it, they should be fine i'd say.

    My new coop/shed/kids fort

    Actually, it's not bad. I've been in the coop when the kids have been up there, and since the fort is not actually over the coop, it's not that loud. I've actually still been building up there ie. hammering and sawing, and the chickens don't seem to be bothered.

    How do I fix water problem?

    is it really bad to give them a longer supply of water? I made a 5 gallon waterer, and I've left it for a week. The water's not that dirty and they've only drunk about 1/4 of it so far. Should I change it immediately?:gig My son wanted to put these two smileys in.

    introducing new chicks to coop

    I know that its been talked about already, but I'm going to bring it up again. I put my older set of chicks into the coop last week, and the younger set yesterday. They were all in the same brooder up til then and did fine together. But today I went in the coop and the younger set are all...
