Since we had no intention of raising yard decorations, we didn't have a place for them to live. We didn't want to put them in with the big girls because they are kinda grouchy with strangers. We kept the new birds separate to ensure they were healthy. Meanwhile, I started construction of the...

They will sell any Idiot a Chicken
For the last few years I have wanted to raise chickens. I am not sure exactly why but the thought of having chickens in the back yard really appealed to me. The problem is I was born and raised in Los Angeles and had no idea how to raise or care for chickens. I...

They came from Murray mcmurray Hatchery by way of some smaller subsidiary in southern California... They are 2 pilgrim goslings; Godfrey and Manfred (a straight run=2 male goslings, no eggs from these guys), one fawn&white indian runner-Earnestine, & 2...
JaSoN's Chicken Plantation
I am completely new to the whole chicken thing, so I found this site to be the most informative on the internet. I remember as a child, my grandmother having chickens on her farm which she raised for meat and eggs. A lot of vivid memories I have playing with those...
My husband first created his design using Google Sketchup. We wanted something with a 'classic' chicken coop look, and something that fit in well with our home, shop, and shed, which are all right next to each other. I also wanted it to be very easy to clean.
First step was to build the stand...
Our Backyard Coop
Our Story
After briefly talking over an interest in "someday" having chickens, our friend gifted us with two bantams the next day. Needless, to say we were surprised, and unprepared, and overwhelmed! However, they were adorable and we were smitten. Having just finished our...
The Christmas Condo Coop
My wife has wanted to raise a few laying chickens for a while now so I'm building her a coop.
Since it's a Christmas present for my wife and my cousin says that the chickens have a condo.
It's the "Christmas Condo Coop".
Step 1:
Find a large scrap pile to pick...
Our journey into backyard chickens began with an abandoned chick, crossing a busy road.
We didn't know much about chickens, but we discovered quickly that chicks grow fast and the shoe box was becoming unsuitable. The first coop was 4x3x1.5 made out of left over wire mesh. Unfortunately it was...
Ok,
CONVERTED CATTLE FEEDER COOP
I spotted this thing in the parking lot at the feed store and kept thinking what a cool coop it would make. That was my dilemna, trying to find something that would be cool enough for the girls, yet sturdy...

Well, I’ve been working hard on my new coop every chance I’ve had. And I’m loving every minute of it. It’s been abnormally cold around here and this coop project has corresponded wonderfully with slightly warmer weather.
I studied a lot of coops I found online, both here and elsewhere, and...
My husband and I always strive to do what's best for our family, our local community and the Earth. We enjoy growing our own fruits and vegetables, we recycle-reduce-reuse, we compost; we try to eat what's good for us, in season, and found locally. It's been a long dream of ours to raise...
Hi! Here's our coop, built for 10 chickens almost entirely out of junk materials. Our design was mostly inspired by the availability of several landscaping timbers we took out of a decommissioned garden bed (for the basic framing), a couple kitchen cabinets (for nesting boxes), and several old...
