    It is finally finished. My first coop. (hopefully my last)

    This is awesome work! You have shown me how to modify the existing window on my coop. It was converted from a largish well house with a fixed window. It has an opening up in the ceiling for access to the "Attic" space and I prop it open in summer. However, converting that fixed window would...

    Japanese Bantam Thread!

    After 9 years of keeping chickens I have recently made the big switch from standard sized chickens to Bantams. Mine are just under 4 months old. Loving them! So much more fun to be around and watch... for hours... housework? What's that? I have a question: When can I tell if I have any...
