    CockRoaches in my coop ahhhhh! Can Muscovy help?

    if I let the Muscovy Ducks overnight in my chicken coop, would they eat the cockroaches? Or is there another way to get rid of those nasty bugs?

    Designed my own coop!

    I designed and built my own coop and run with my dad. The kids painted the inside to make it a happy place for the ladies. It’s easy to clean and access, and it keeps my NY ladies safe in the winter without a heat source.

    New Chicken Mom Looking for Guidance!

    Hi all! I am new to owning chicks and hoping to acquire some advice. City of Milwaukee ordinance states that we must have at least 16 sq. ft., living space per chicken. This can included the run as well as the coop (as Milwaukee also says coop cannot be larger than 50 sq. ft.) With that said, I...

    Need Help Finding Coop Plan

    Hello, all! I have been searching for a decent coop plan to hold my 4 chicks when they are full feathered. My husband and I were going to purchase one, but we know that it’s cheaper and sturdier if we build it on our own. We live in northern Maine, so our winters get pretty chilly up here. On...

    11wk old Rhode Island Red babies

    I've seen them once go into their coop on their own... Today I went to check their water, and found them with their mouths hanging open. They have some shade in the run, they have water, and they have an open coop. Why won't they use the coop? They have had an actual coop door for over a week...

    Call duck swimming hole :)

    Our family just adopted 3 call ducklings (in addition to 4 chicks) and will be working on building their respective coops over the next 2-3 weeks. Due to the possibility of moving this summer we are making the coops to be easy for us to transport until we finalize our plans. For the ducks, how...

    Hello Everyone! Just sharing a few pictures of the chicken tractor that we built for our bantams. We will be adding nesting boxes on the back in the future. It its 8' x 4', and it needs two people to move it easily around the yard. We made one of the roof panels removable for easy access to the...

    Chick coop connected to adult coop

    Back in 2016 (between March and June, I think) a lady posted her pictures of her chick coop and run that she built alongside of the chicken coop and run. The adjoining wire walls had small holes cut in them to allow the chicks to mingle with the adults chickens, but run back to the safety of...

    Cocci cleaning and disinfecting

    Hi all, New to the forum, but we've been raising chickens for about 2 years. I have been unlucky enough to have my first run in with cocci. Guess it was a good run while it lasted. We're treating with corid. Showing typical symptoms lethargic, ruffled, stay near heat source and bloody poo. I...

    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 coop door necessary?

    I just brought home four 12-wk old Barred rock hens. They are in a fully enclosed coop and run. I have both buried hardware cloth and a hardware cloth apron around the structure. Their coop access is inside the run. They have been naturally getting in the coop at sunset each night. We have not...

    Advice for Human/Chicken Shared Door

    I'm fixing up an old horse stable that was once converted into a turkey coop but was in serious disrepair when I came along on the scene. In many places I just have no idea what they were thinking when they "built" stuff...or how things were used. I've gotten most of it fixed up now but I'm...

    My coop/run build

    So finally got the framing done and put in the ground today! I did an 8x8 modified build from the Downeast thunder farm design. Just gotta cut and put up the rafters but this was all built with wood I found in the barn so some of it was warped and I had to make it work. All free lumber, only...

    Our patriotic coop paint job

    We spent more time painting the chicken coop than we did building the chicken coop. It was my wife's idea to paint it this way. We love it. The chickens love it. The neighbors love it. Do you love it? We cut a hole in the side with a jigsaw and then put a hinge on the part we cut out for the...
