Hi! I thought I was hot! It's 109 here today, my BO girls are not happy. I'm using the same tricks, but don't have deep litter. Fingers crossed. May I ask what breeds you have?

Exactly. I actually drilled ventilation holes in the next boxes as well. My avatar is a Buff sitting on a block of ice! I see all the pictures of the thick trees, lush grasses and gardens, bugs to dig up... none of that here. We're in severe drought with big fines for watering. I can't even use...

Hi! Welcome! Time does seem to get away doesn't it! And the heat...I'm at 103 for the rest of the week! We'd have roasted chicken in a fully enclosed coop.

I'm so happy for you! Sure enough, I never intended to love my chickens. I had no idea. Red Tail hawk circling around here right now, but the girls are in. In my area, they mostly look for rabbits. Instinct is so interesting if I can share a story. I try to let my youngsters (who by the way...

How interesting and informative! All 3 articles! Thank you for taking the time to explain and share your knowledge. I would have never known.

Now I'm cracking up at you and your emogi! Thud! Hang on...still laughing... catch my breath... OK. Whew. It does drop to the frigid 30's here. So yours are ok at -20 or ZERO? Being serious for 3 more sentences, I actually would have been concerned that my girls were going to be too cold this...

Being serious, that is a much needed warning. My brooder was in my tackroom of my wooden barn with my beloved horses and their shavings and hay. I double.triple checked but was still very nervous. I won't do that again. K. I can be serious for 3 sentences. Here is my energy efficient solution...

Looking GREAT!!! Cable TV? Wet bar? Spa too? LOL! I love your coop. Seriously, electric is handy. Fans and lights. You can extend laying season by using lights on timers if you choose to. http://animals.mom.me/use-light-laying-hens-1301.html Also with your fancy chicken community housing tract...

What a great habitat! Looks like you're in the homestretch. Waiting for more pics. I've never seen a chicken with ears and a tail like that, but I'm a newby. Is that a dark brown egg layer? (sorry...had to...)

I showed Hubby your plans...he's back on the job! If you decide not to go with office chairs... The nest box we built has a slanted roof to discourage becoming a hangout as it will be inside the coop for a while (I'm on Hubby time). We painted it with porch paint for EZ cleaning too. It's hinged...

I'm laughing again. Me thinks they will be happy as the dickens with a nest box or wherever. I've found that chickens do what chickens do. Kinda good that you spent extra time bonding. LOL you're the roo! Can't hurt!

That's quite funny! I'm laughing with you if you can laugh. I purchased my first babies in Feb. My hubby (newly retired and very handy) had fair warning and was on board to build my dream habitat. Well, it's July. In May, I had to get creative. Their "coop" is a barn stall, the "run" is a...

WOW! Happy chickens! Love the design. Thank you for posting pics. Waiting for more!
