    Pre-Fabricated Coops

    We are moving soon and will be moving our seven urban hens with us. I would like to order a pre-fabricated coop with run that does not need a six week lead time. Who has the best, high-quality pre-fab coops? We just don't have time to build one. I would love a coop that stands up to a Minnesota...

    10 x 12 How Many Chickens

    I currently have a plastic DIY shed that is 10' by 12'. They have a very large area outside but I'm wondering how many chickens this would fit. Bared rocks or RIR's to be exact. I've kept chickens in it before but am looking to find out what the optimal number would be. Thanks.

    Mountain Lion?

    The only predator that I know of for sure that has attacked on our property is a mountain lion. A couple of years ago before we owned the place, a cat attacked one of the horses here. It did not end well for the horse. Can chicken coops be made safe from cougars? Will electricity do it?

    Deep Bedding

    When using the deep bedding method in the coop how often do all of you change it out completely? I was so use to cleaning and sanitizing my coop every week and basic cleaning everyday. My life was revolving around my chickens and it seemed I had no time for anything else so I read about deep...
