    New coop build, need help designing! (South Eastern Ontario)

    Hi Ted! That makes sense. Let them outside, while safe in the run. So nice to see you. I don't have chickens yet, and we've decided not to use the old shed. We are building to suit. I'm hoping to free range as much as possible. All my neighbors do, and I'll be fine with it. Until it goes...

    Egg quality between flocks

    Very informative, thank you. Do you know what causes "meat spots"? Are they a sort of blood clot? The first group do have dirty butts, and I suppose the coop could be cleaner. She was just starting a big clean out the last time I saw her, and I know she loves her chickens, like you said about...

    64sq ft coop for 6 chickens?

    64sq ft coop for 6 chickens?

    I agree. I'm starting wonder if I should start with Pullets for the first year.

    64sq ft coop for 6 chickens?

    Do they spend the night there? What do you do for predator protection?

    64sq ft coop for 6 chickens?

    Hi! I'm at the same stage, in a similar climate, and I have questions too. I'm thinking I want a 10 x 12 walk in so I have a place to keep a brooder/medical room, a permanent roost/poop tray set up, indoor nesting boxes (due to winter cold), with space for food, water, and a dust bath in the...
