Quote: I like your photos, thanks for sharing. This is my 2nd year with chickens 7th with ducks, and one thing I have noticed is it doesn't matter how cold it's been or snowy most of my chickens come outside during the day. The small bantams will sometimes stay in but even they go out. I think...

pips&peeps : Just not feasible where I live and you can get drifts over four feet high in a couple hours in the winter. Frostbite is also an issue when it gets below -5 too. When I first saw these houses I thought the same way, and we don't get drifts up to 4' but we can get alot of blowing...

Quote: I love your coop as well. I wonder if I could build a coop to house about 200 chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys using that same style. I'll have to see how much recycled wood I can get and get some measurements going. Yes you can. In the book they show an expanded version of the...

Quote: Some good points for sure but some ridiculous statements such as "These principles were discovered over 100 years ago and are still followed by commercial chicken producers worldwide. Unfortunately for the chickens, they have been forgotten by backyarders and hobbyists." Why is that...
