    Training chickens to go inside their house to roost?

    We have a shed for our chickens to sleep in with lots of roosting bars and then they have their outside run. 4 out of 8 of the chickens aren’t taking themselves inside to roost once the sun falls. Tonight I went down to shut them in and we very narrowly missed the fox getting inside our coop...

    I need chicken house tips

    Hi guys, I could use some advice on the current chicken house. I only have one chicken right now so it doesn't get too messy, but she sleeps in the nesting box (they are removable for cleaning), and I feel like the roosts are at weird heights. One is low and the other is really high. I don't...

    My Coop: Green House Turned Chicken House

    I had this old fiber glass greenhouse that i decided to turn into my chicken house instead of buying or building one (I mean free is always better right?).

    During the build process. There are the same number of roosts at opposite ends of the henhouse. There are 20 nests along the back wall. Along the same wall are two windows and under the front edge of the roof is venting that stretches the full length of the house. The house itself is 8’ x 20’.

    evolution of chicken houses and yards over the years

    There isn't a coop per se at our house, although some I've seen at BackyardChickens.com are creative and beautiful, true works of art. So this is just about sharing where our chickens have lived through the years. It's a rural area, no formality! and whatever was here, was used. When...
