    Finally Getting My Chickens!

I bought a “Chick-Inn” coop and run at Rural King and it’s a bit smaller than I anticipated; it says it’ll house up to three chickens comfortably. I’ll likely extend the run using some scrap lumber and chicken...

    HI ! this will be my second go round with chickens. Previous flock aged out, my kids were not interested any more, and I took a break. Now I've moved to a new house, and it had a cute little playhouse in the back yard. I was contemplating how I was going to get rid of this solidly built...
