I am going to be moving in a few months and I need help on what to fix up for my chickens to live in.
I have been doing research on chicken coop and pens, free range, and chicken tractors. I am going to be moving my chickens from free range and a coop to a sturdy metal wire dog pen. I have...
I started out with a very small flock (5 chicks) but wanted a coop that would allow me to grow my flock should I decide to. I researched everything I could on Backyard Chickens and on every website I could find. I needed something I could build myself, and sturdy enough to protect from a...
I recently moved to NC and we almost immediately started a plan for a chicken coop! We bought a used 10 by 12 shed, wood and hardwire fencing. The inside is painted white and the floor was supposed to be a light grey but it ended up looking like a blue grey instead but it’s waterproof so...
Constructing a pen easier than it seems. You need to pinpoint some important matters like the materials to buy and the tools to use. Plus, you also have to consider the area where to build the suitable pen for raising your chickens.
Alright, the easy yet crucial part begins with planning...
Just showing off my coop & run now that it’s coming together the way I want.
The whole set-up is actually a (very heavy but still moveable) chicken tractor. 14 feet long by 3 feet wide. The barn-style coop sits on top of the run and is made of extremely durable, insulated, barn-thick siding...
Hello Chicken Lovers, I am fairly new to this site, so I hope I am posting in the right area. Posted previously and included my location and my thanks to the individuals that contacted me. Still looking for someone to build (or finish an existing) an insulated chicken coop. If you read my...
Years ago, I helped my uncle put together a wooden swingset for my aunt. It was a place to sit together, relax and laugh. We enjoyed it for over a decade until time and the elements took their toll and the thinner boards on the seats began to rot and crack. My aunt and uncle aren't with us...
I wanted to share our new coop here as everyone here was very instrumental in helping us figure out what to do. I gathered up a ton of information on all of th large coop designs here and based ours on a few from here. I did a blog post on it if you are interested.
Thank you for all of your...

We've got a situation.
When the Carr Fire burned through Redding, it destroyed a lot of wildlife and their habitat. But some survived, and those and others are now moving back into the area and are suffering from starvation.
A lot of people are seeing bears, more than we usually do here...
I have multiple breeds of chickens, Hens and Roosters. I have Rhode Island Red, Bufforpington, White Leghorn, Silver-laced Wyndotte, Bard-rock, Americana, and a couple I don't know the specifics of. I don't have an exact number of chickens. Between 40 and 50. The chicken house and fencing all...
I am working on building a night enclosure for my pheasants. I've run out of room in my barn so this enclosure has to be completely outdoors. The plans I have seem well ventilated but I'm unsure of the dangers of pressure treated wood. Will the chemicals be dangerous to my birds? What's the...

Just so I can keep up with my antics with my chickens, I'm going to document all of the fun, crazy, frantic, tear jerking and sometimes embarrassing things (other than trying to spell embarrassing correctly) that happen as I am trying to establish a flock of laying hens, grow some "chicken soup"...
(NE North Carolina) We are new at chickens. Our first flock was purchased in March 2018. It was pretty cold when we purchased our first 10 RIRs, so they were living in an ever expanding cardboard box "condo" in my office and we hadn't built our coop yet. When I noticed their dust baths were...
Hi all:
I have a walk-in outdoor coop, and the hot summer sun hits the doorway around 5-7 pm.
I've been keeping all of my empty juice containers and filling them with water, freeze them and put them around in the coop at night to keep it cool.
My biggest concern is that it's going to hit...
Since i now own lovely Tolbunt Polish and Crested Cream Legbars, and they are growing fast, i need to get busy and build a coop.
I have chosen the site, near my new Turkey Coop, so it can use the side of the turkey runs as the back of the chicken runs.
Here is the site:
