Yes, we have bear. On a regular basis! It’s our biggest concern.

We’re in western PA.

We only have 6 birds. Thanks for advice!

They are 18 inches apart horizontally and they are 8ft long each. We only have 6 birds. The rafters are our ventilation. They are open on all four sides. We have hardware cloth stapled all along the rafters. I got in and stood up and there is a ton of airflow, but we did purchase a small vent to...

The picture isn’t very good. Our roosting bars at 12 in from the wall and over 18 in apart. We have 16ft total of roosting bar so I’m sure they’ll have plants of space. Thanks!

So we just finished our first coop this morning! We used a couple different plans and used idea that would work with what he already had. But I’m concerned that my nesting boxes are too low. They are a few inches off the ground. We saw them in a plan and it worked best for our structure. But...

He was gifted to us so we have no idea what he is. He came out of an online order of backyard mix. Thank you for your input!

The two are what I believe are Roos but no idea on breed. The other is our son with the rest of them.

Well what we bought and what we got seem to be different! 😂 supposed to be 2 starlight green Easter eggers, 1 isa brown, 1 RIR and 1 what I think is an austra white(might be a roo) and 1 roo, but we have no idea what he is. I will post a picture!

Hey y’all. My family and myself are new chicken owners to six 9 week old chicks! Any and all random advice for newbies? XO
