It's sooo cute! Your mud room will get pretty dusty after awhile though. I would close up that side with screen door wire to cut down on the dust. Also, in answer to your question about the 1" dia. rod, the answer is no. That is not going to be large enough for them as they get bigger. You need a roost big enough for them to be able to cover their feet up completely with their bodies when they are roosting. That's how they keep their feet warm. It should be fine for awhile though. You can adjust as they get bigger. Love the concept for the few gals you have! That is a great idea!

the screen idea is great, should i just cover the chicken wire with it or take the chicken wire off and replace it? I have screen on the windows, and ive been wondering if they will be able to rip right through it when the windows are opwn. thanks for the info on the perches, the hardware was really cheap so upgrading as they grow shouldnt be a problem all.

thanks again!

btw great job on that list! its nice to see i aint the only chicken nut in town!

This might be an odd question, but is breeding from the same family lines okay? That is if you get a hen and a rooster from the same rooster/hen combo, is it okay to breed them?

Day one of "Ida's Poultry Playhouse" is behind us, and hopefully tomorrow we'll have what appears to be a home for our hens.

Thanks! A lot of work, but I've been looking forward to this for awhile. We live right on Keystone Ave. People haul ass on that road, but back here, it's our own little slice of the country. I like what you've done as well.

Nice, I have some friends that live throughout that area. I used to live on Lander Street. I love that area, but our landlord wouldn't sell the house we lived in, so we had to pay way too much for a house that's now worth half what we paid for it.

Yup - just watch what you produce and cull, cull, cull - any defect or trait you do not like (cull does not have to mean kill/eat - can just mean to not use for any breeding).



Nice looking start to your coop Echetino and Aubreynoramarie your set-up/yard looks great also!

A very happy Fathers Day to all you Fathers out there.
