Pretty coop! I still need to finish insulating mine, and get the latch on the run door before my girls can go outside. Haven't even thought about how I'm going to plug a heated water bowl in in the winter yet, will probably run an extension cord from the garage - way easier than trying to run electric!
I do have a chicken question for folks in the Metro West/Framingham area - where can I find somewhere that sells chicken feed, preferably less than a 45 minute drive? Currently I've been picking up all my chicken supplies at the TSC in central CT when I go to visit family, but it'd be nice to actually find somewhere local to get everything they need. A google search hasn't been very productive - seems just all horse feed/supply places, no general farm stores.

NOt all chickens thrive. Natures way of weeding out the weaker stock. Sorry you lost her. As far as getting more, I ususally try to sell 2 at a time. Makes adjustments far easier. One new one could get picked on badly as all the attention is aimed at one and not split between 2-3 new ones. SOrry for your loss.Last Friday I found one of my hens dead in the coop when I went to let them out. She was always smaller and quieter than the others, didn't eat much. She was a Delaware and the Black Star and Orpington were growing bigger, eating a lot and very active. No signs of disease or anything wrong so I am guessing it was something she had when we got her? They were just turning 12 weeks. The next day we finished putting the aviary netting over the big run area and I let the other two out. Felt so bad that she did not have a chance to enjoy it. I thought about getting another, called the man I got them from he had no Delawares left. Some people suggested I get 2 more instead of just one but I think space wise it may get crowded in the coop. So sad, she was very sweet.
