I am OCD and feel prevention is key for healthy chickens! so far so good!
Penelope still hasn't laid her egg. She doesn't like to come out of the cat/dog carrier. She is eating and drinking and popping and still swollen. It is going to be 2 weeks on Saturday.
My hubby wants to build a chicken barn and tear down all we have build over the years raising chickens. That means he wants to sell off all we have and just keep my silkies. He knows how much I love my silkies
Last year the feed mill offered in layers: Rhode Island Reds, Barred rocks, Black sex links, White Leghorn, Gold sex links. Fancy breeds: assorted bantams, Araucanas, Danish Brown Leghorns, Black Australorps, Buff Orpingtons, New Hampshire Reds, White Rock, Mottled Anconas Black or Buff Minorcas, Delawares, Naked Neck Turkens, (hubby hates the look of these lol) Black Jersey Giants, Dominiques, White Laced Red Cornish, Silver Laced Wyandottes, Light Brahmas, Cochins, and Cuckoo Marans. So many choices.
If we ever get the new coop build, I will post pictures lol. He has been talking about doing a big new coop for a while now. He did score some free metal for the roof. We were talking about using pallets to build the walls. We will have to level out the back yard, which isn't easy with all the rocks and trees. Lots of work needs to be done.

I put Penelope back out in her coop last night. I thought that maybe being in a familiar environment (away from barking dogs) she would feel safer. She still is walking like a penguin and I still feel like an egg shaped lump by her vent. This morning she was walking around outside and eating. Poor thing. I tried what everyone said online for her, except break the egg since I can't see it in her vent and don't want her to be cut up internally. My family was tired of sharing a bathroom with a chicken and my son said just eat her already.Still hoping for Penelope, poor thing. Do you still think she's egg bound? Two weeks seems like a long time....
Welcome! As others have said, build a bigger coop than you think you need!
nope but on the Halloween thread they are going to hookmeup with the schems in a pdf soon for a easy one soon. we are going to use a DE pool filter motor. farm 3/4 motors are fairly cheap online and with the way they did it, it makes it feasible.
I use the pine wood shavings from Tractor Supply for my nesting boxes
