Hello all,

Glad to find this awesome site. This is my first year of farming and I have 5 girls. Below is my homemade Michigan State chicken coop! Go Green!

I have a polish, a golden sex link, i think a delaware, an all white one girl and an australorp. had a frizzle but Ronda became Ronald and starting waking up the neighbors. My australorp is extremely noisy and shy. My Polish is just awful. Constantly flying into the fence and stirring up the others. Other three are perfect. My golden sex link has an amazing personality.

Excited for new tips and share what I learn along the way! Looking for a few more girls for the spring that are different then what I have now!

Hi and

Your flock sounds very interesting - we have gold sex links and the hens are lovely as well! They love to fly onto my lap.
Good job on making that coop yourself!

Polish are skiddish because there vision is partially blocked and they scare easy.
Welcome and enjoy!

Hello and Welcome to BYC! Pretty coop and run, am sure your girls love it.

very nice coop, the run needs to have 1/2" hardware cloth. Chicken wire only keeps chickens IN, it does nothing to keep predators OUT.

If you cut back the crest on your polish, you will be amazed at the personality change. Polish and Silkies have their visions obscured by big crests to please the breeders-buyers. They are nothing but a nuisance to the poor birds themselves. They are easy pickings for predators etc., just because they can't see well enough to escape.
