    I want to put in another window in our coop. For ventilation, light in winter when they are inside more, and air flow in warm summers. My coop is 4x8 with 10 chickens, 3 roost bars. They really are only inside the coo to sleep and when the winter weather is bad and very snowy I love in...

    Combining Flock question

    Hi fellow chicken people! I have a question regarding flocks sharing a run. Chicken math has gotten me too many times and it’s time to downsize. I currently have 2 separate flocks. I am rehoming half of my hens. I am looking to combine my flocks where they use the same run. I have two coops...

    Help my sis pick a spot for her coop!

    So, my sister lives in a small Florida suburb that allows backyard chickens, and she and her husband are considering keeping two or three. She's not sure about which breed, yet, but they want to keep them for eggs and fertilizer. The house in question has an unusual structure, specifically...

    Geese & getting along with ducks

    Ok so I received two 3 year old Embden geese about 2 weeks ago. They are mated for life. We got them to deter air predators as we’ve had quite the issue with them this year and so far, they have been doing a good job. We are also keen on them to alert us if there is anybody on our property as we...

    Broody hen in a raised coop?

    I have a 2 year old buff orpington, Bubbles, that has gone broody. I am glad for this because with the price of chicken in my area, we plan on culling the oldest birds in our flock of 12 and these natural replacements will be perfect timing. But I have a problem. My 20-bird capacity coop is...

    Silkie Coop- ramp and other considerations?

    I'm building a coop for my first flock, which includes a Polish, a cochin, an Easter egger, and a silkie. It's been obvious from the start that Joni Mitshell, our little 4.5 week old silkie, doesn't pick up on things quite at fast as the others, but she does mostly keep up eventually. She jumps...

    Calling all roost & poop board designers! ;)

    Of course I have already pored over dozens of threads on this subject! But since we all have different spaces and limitations to work with, I thought I'd toss my situation out there in case some of you have some excellent ideas 💡 We LOVE our coop, it's very well made, and extremely...
