    Temporary run/coop queation

    I recently lost 6 of my 12 free range chickens to a predator attack so now have six new 3-week old chicks in a brooder in my house. I have a 140 sq. ft. secure run attached to my existing coop and plan to divide off half of it as a temporary run for the new chicks, which I'll move out in 3-4...

    Camp Cockerel

    Those of us who hatch often have spare boys who need to be gotten out of the main flock because they're bothering the hens and annoying the Flockmaster rooster, I thought this quick-and-dirty build could be useful to others. Important Note: This is a medium-security holding facility for...

    Temporary Coop for New Hens

    Hi folks! I'm looking to add about 5 hens before winter hits as I lost a few pullets during my first year with chickens. From looking at the forum, many suggest quarantine for new chickens to watch for disease/illness before integration. Given that coccidia has kicked my butt this season, I'm...

    Quarantine setup - anything else I should do?

However, I was very nervous when I first got chickens about predators (we do have raccoons in the area, though we have a large dog and I haven't seen them in my yard before). I worked hard...

    Mini-Coop or Integration Pen From a Large Dog Crate

    Important! This is NOT a predator-proof build and should be used only inside a secure area. The 4, month-old chicks I picked up yesterday came with a 4x8 coop, but we had to take the tarp walls off for transport and it was starting to rain when we got home so I quickly set them up in dog-crate...

    Moving this winter! Need quick coop ideas!

    We’ll be moving in to our new house this winter, early December most likely. We’ll have more acreage and don’t know yet what we ultimately want to construct for our flock, but ideally it’ll be moderately mobile so we can move them to different parts of the farm. Anyway, my question is, what...

    Evacuation - what to do with chickens

    Hi all, Due to the California wildfires burning near our house where we have the chicken coop/run, we decided to evacuate when given the warning. Along with myself and my family, we took our 2 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 5 brand new chicks and 2 of our four chickens (still feel so guilty about leaving...
