I have 9 hens. Three are 4yo and 6 are not quite a year. There are 2 Rhode Island Reds, 3 Americaunas, 2 buff Orpingtons, and 2 silver-laced Wyandottes. My first 6 chickens lived in a home-built, moveable coop from plans I found on the internet. Every winter I moved them into the garage. What a mess. This fall I finally got a beautiful, solid coop, which they love.

The coop is raised off the ground so they can go underneath. You can’t see in this photo, but I shovel around the coop. They also have a water heater. I live in Vermont where winters can be tough.

My corgi insisted on helping with painting the coop.

I look forward to gleaning info and tips from this group.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

Love the cute coop and Corgi! We have one too and she's our border collie's sidekick. The two of them keep the varments out of our yard so our chickens can free range safely.

Yes, I have three dogs, and they’re good at keeping unwanted critters away.
