No I have not. We aren’t sure how we want to go about building one. Any advice I can get is greatly appreciated.Welcome! I live in SW Michigan, so I can help with advice on housing set up, but not chicken breeds for your local area. Have you started on any coop/housing set up yet?
Hello and welcome to our thread! Please ask away, glad to help you get started.Hello I am new to this site and live in Borden Indiana. It is roughly 30 mins north of Louisville. I was wondering if there is anyone local to the area who could help me in determining where to get chickens and what type of coops work best and what type of chickens work best for our climate. Thanks in advance. I am new to the chick life.
My #1 favorite is the Rottweiler. Very smart, devoted to its family and very protective. I've had a few and each one was the same demeanor. Also a good LGD. I chose dogs from a reputable breeder.What is everyone's favorite dog (pure breed or mix) that they own/have owned, or have known that someone else owned?
I did a quick coop search on byc, came up with these links.Hello I am new to this site and live in Borden Indiana. It is roughly 30 mins north of Louisville.

Got a lot of molting here too.Everyone is molting! Geez feathers everywhere and half bald birds lol. The American Bresse are only about 5 months and they are molting too, odd. My 6 BR pullets are doing good at 17 weeks and I have a friendly social rooster saved for them. EE flock has 1 broody hen we've put her in a safe place with her eggs. My adult Maran hen is also brooding eggs. And amazed I have a broody Leghorn! Hope all these girls are good moms.
Muscovy hens all appear to plan one more clutch. The hard rains last month damaged all the eggs on the ground. I'm seeing all 4 girls start new clutches.
The articles may include this, but if not: DO NOT purchase a pre-fab coop from TSC or another farm store. They are inadequate to house as many birds as they say, and so cheaply made they will likely only last one year, unless a predator tears it apart first.I did a quick coop search on byc, came up with these links.

Our first coop was purchased as a quality built shed and my husband then renovated the inside to suite chickens. Sturdy, predator proof, and roomy as long as I don't overcrowd. Never, never allow over-crowding. I don't go by recommended square feet per bird, as it just takes some common sense to see whether they're crowded.
