Chook Nook!
It is always helpful to see what other chicken people are doing. I love to see how others house their chickens and learn so much from this. Here in the desert southwest, it is a little different than in other places. All those cute chicken houses would serve more as ovens than...
Poultry in Motion
The fowl housing market affects us all in different ways. In my case, a garage full of scraps, an idea for a visual pun, and (my wife says) too much time on my hands led to the creation of this chicken coupe. Here is a pictorial guide that may help BYC members to hatch...

Little Chick Inn / Coop 2
Spring 2010
After having my chicks for almost a year my DH realized that this wasn't somting that was going to last for a week then go away. The coop that I constructed from an old dog house and about $50 worth of supplies just didn't look the greatest. So this...

The Chicken Shack
I have been wanting chickens for quite a while now, but with my tiny, landscaped backyard, I just couldn't figure out how to do it. Then my wonderful, wonderful, dear husband came up with the most creative idea ever. We had a small wooden shed, 4'x8', that was primarily used...
