Kansaseq, Thanks! We love it too. I planned to chink it initially, but it provides great ventilation for the girls and keeps the smell down so I didn't. I totally chirckenwired the entire inside so nothing can get in between the cracks (which are small). It doesn't get too cold here in SC...

MrsDills07 In hope you're kids are as happy with their log coop as mine are. It is quite the conversation piece too at church and work as my friends really think it's neat. Terri74, I think you can use whatever type tree you have available. Pine is plentiful for me and needed to be removed...

All but one has since been adopted out as roaming dogs created my biggest problem. They had no problems bedding down together at night, although there was a pecking order as to who got in first. In the morning, the dominate roo would run the others away from the coop while the hens got out, but...

Hey GAChknGirl, Hang in there and say a few prayers, and I am sure God will get you through! I don't know about the finance stuff, but I can surely identify with a non-flexible work schedule and my daughter had to have the tube in the ears for chronic ear infections, twice! Once was not enough...

Today, I got 4 eggs from 8 hens (so far). I have a young flock and three of by Black Orpingtons just started to lay in the last couple of weeks. The high number is 6 in one day and the a low number lately has been 2.

It's all over the clock just as the others have said. I was not aware of the 26 hour clock, but that totally makes sense to me. I have gotten eggs after they go into roost and I do not keep a light in the house. I have also read that chickens lay on the morning, but that is not my experience at...

I think it is a good idea. I built my coop with two roosts and all the chickens roosted on the same roost. I added four much younger birds to the coop and they went to the unused roost and with few exceptions they stay on their side. The exceptions are starting now as they are all about the same...

Howdy from Ridgeway, South Carolina! I spent 3 years in the liquid sunshine of England near Oxford while serving in the Air Force :-)

Welcome from Riidgeway, SC! I was stationed at Upper Heyford UK in the early 1980s and LOVED it! I think my son and daughterp-in-law may be heading to Lakenheath in the next year too. I am living in the woods in a log home here in SC and you can see that my chickens are too by clicking on my...

Howdy! I'm originally from Ohio, but the Air Force took me around the world and I stopped in Ridgeway, SC. I was born in Chillicothe and grew up in Xenia. Welcome aboard!

Howdy from the Midlands of SC! We're in the thriving metropolis of Ridgeway, SC population about 450. We actually live outside the town on 9.25 acres of woods in our log home. We built the chickens a log home too. You can see it on my BYC page. My daughter and son-in-law live in Clemson. He's...

Guten Tag Y'all von Ridgeway, SC! I spent 7 1/2 years in Germany with the US Air Force and ich lebe Deutschland!

Welcome from a Buckeye in Ridgeway, SC! I'm orignally from Chillicothe, grew up in Xenia, and enetered the USAF and went around the world. Landed here in sunny SC.

I built a Roo-Cave for my three boys too. Check it out on my BYC page: https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=88683. This keeps peace with the kids.

I recently added a FROG (For Roosters Only Grotto) or as I refer to it, a Roo-Cave for my three roosters to live in. I let them free range in the daytime, but the hens stay in the run. I have a small flock and when I initially got my chickens, I thought I had 6 hens. Then one day, there was a...

Greetings from Ridgeway, South Carolina! I am originally from Chillicothe, OH and grew up in Xenia. The Air Force moved me far, far away and showed me many cool places, and SC is where I landed. I am less than a year into chicken keeping and I have learned sooo much from this site. I believe it...

Greetings from Ridgeway, South Carolina! I am less than a year into chicken keeping and I have learned sooo much from this site. I believe it will be a big help to you. I started my coop last fall and got my chickens in April. Got 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Rhoade Island Reds, and 2 Barred Roks to...
