    Craftsman Coop

    April 29, 2018: Construction of my very first coop is underway! I'm about 3 weeks into the project now. A combination of weather (it's been VERY rainy), faulty equipment (our backhoe needed a replacement part and that delayed progress on our foundation), and needy children made for a pretty slow...

    Is the size of a nesting nox important?

    My dad was remaking my chickens a coop and he made the nesting boxes 2 feet long and 1 foot wide, but he made the top about 2 feet tall. He said that size didn’t matter but I’m pretty sure it matters, he also said it doesn’t matter if it’s dark for them to go broody, so he left the front open...

    Still here..

    Good morning! It's been a while since I've been on here. We have moved to Limestone County Alabama. Two of my neighbors have hens and a friend from work keeps giving us his free ranged eggs. Needless to say I still REALLY want some chickens. Lol. I would like to move into a nicer yard so my...
  7. Our Big Island Coop

    Our Big Island Coop

    I consider this coop to be one that is medium size. At 64 square feet, its 8' x 8' foot print is small enough for most back yards but large enough for 16 hens. (16 birds*4 square feet coop space per bird= 64 square feet total). We are putting it into a pen that is 20' x 20' so this 400 square...
