EE baby roo and Delaware-type mix free to good home. Delaware mix now has pretty blue/green sickle feathers coming in. I would like $10 for the Ameraucana--he is a big boy! No one is aggressive or crowing yet

I have 4 new chicks bought as day olds. The 2 EEs from the "pullet" bin via Cackle and the 2 Ameraucanas as straight run from Sebrightmom. The EEs are 8 1/2 weeks and the Ameraucanas about 7 weeks.
suspect #1 EE --what on earth is this? single comb and yellow legs
suspect #2--look at those...
My son adopted this darling puppy in December from a local shelter. She is some sort of terrier mix---they thought hound/terrier. Maybe the wirey coated Jack Russell? Anyway, he has decided that when he graduates from college he doesn't think he will be able to take her with him and so we are...
One of the girls was being a pest today while I was cleaning out the coop and as I was shoveling out the shavings she was digging through them---I thought she was looking for bits of pellets or grain----but NO--she was actually grabbing mouthfuls of shavings and swallowing them So I shooed her...
Okay--my 4 EEs are 18 weeks old this week and in the last couple of weeks I am noticing feathers lying about. First it was the longest tailfeathers and a few wing feathers--from each bird, not just one of them. Then miscellaneous small feathers everywhere. Yesterday I walked around the yard...
Well almost. I just need to put shingles on the roof. I built this with absolutely no prior experience. Only a cheap jigsaw and rechargeable drill--and a quilting ruler!!! Yes ladies--instead of a builder's square
It was quite a challenge and I wanted to throw in the towel several times. I...
I have managed to build a small coop and it has a 4 x 4 shed roof.
I have asphalt roll roofing, asphalt shingles, flashing and nails etc.----but I have no roofing felt
I have been looking for scraps at construction sites etc, but so far no luck.
Is there anything that I can put under the...
My question is this:
I know buried hardware cloth works to keep out predators. And I see that some people just lay the hardware cloth on top the ground and then use patio blocks on top as a deterrent.
I want to know if I sink the base of my pen into the ground about 3 inches (the treated...
I am trying to decide where to locate my small coop and 4x8 run which will be home to only 3 or 4 hens. I have several spots available and can't decide which is best.
If the run and coop is cleaned weekly is there much odor? I don't want to put it 20 feet from the house and then have to move...
I finally got my little chicks after a 4 week wait. My feed store had ordered 20 "ameracauna" pullets from Cackle that came in last Friday. I ran down to the store at the scheduled time only to discover that a man had come early and bought every single one of them--plus 30 other assorted...
I got some plans online for a small 3 chicken house called the "City Biddy" and am getting ready to try to build it. I have absolutely no experience in building so it will be an interesting project I am sure. Just wondering if anyone here has built this little house and how hard it was.
No...
