    My Chicken Coop I started with a precut 8x8 shed form menards. I was planning on building from scratch but when material was figured, it wasnt worth the trouble to cut everything myself. The time saved was definately worth the price difference. It was designed with floor joist at 24 inches...

    1/11/11 - Ruggy, my cuddly, 11 month old, white wyandotte, barren hen, passed this morning. For the past few days, I noticed her poop was watery with green chunks. When she started hanging out in the nest box, I thought her time has come, maybe she'll lay. When I realized that wasn't the case...

    Here's my chicken coop. Sorry, I don't have any work in progress pics, I'm notoriously bad at doing that. In the photo to the left, you will see I have used an old dog kennel for my run. Although it can't be seen in the pic, I have wrapped the lower half of the kennel with chicken wire to...

    This is our coop for our seven hens, duck and a goose. The coop is 6ft X 8ft so that all the birds will fit comfortably. We built the run behind the coop so that from the road it looks like a shed from the road. The run is made of green wire so that helps it to blend into the trees. We needed...
