We have the same issues with our single little black bantam in a flock with seven Chanteclers (the Alberta variety). Between the other hens and the roosters she could never catch a break. Lost so many feathers, stopped laying, and wouldn’t come out of her (smaller) nesting box unless I picked...

Not sure if covered above (too little time) but I picked up some very cheap Trex deck board remnants. Indestructible and cut, drill screws like wood... up here in Canada we use Kijiji instead of Craigs list.

Awesome. Following from Ardrossan area a little further north from you... only -30 yesterday up here. We really like your coop!

Our chickens help themselves to the clean sorghum seed-based cat litter in the barn cats’ litter box. Only after I’ve scooped the litter box. Even so today a young rooster found a morsel of cat poop, and ate it (yuck).

Happy 2021! Elsewhere on this forum I described a pre-fab coop we bought for our acreage. We planned to get chicks next spring. Finishing the coop got put on hold with an early winter freeze. Meanwhile friends with too many chickens “gifted“ us with a hen, a rooster, and six chicks only 14 days...

Great thread. Thank you! As a teenaged camp counsellor we explored a nearby barn one night. One of the guys peed on the electric fence, and yes, was zapped. He was only about a foot away (all stream and no spray at that distance) and standing in tall wet grass...

Hi AshleyConnie - finally getting around to actually building it and the run this fall. Stay tuned...

So it’s a harmless snake? Why worry?

Well, not too far north...hello from the Edmonton area! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? New, yes. Have none yet. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? (3) What breeds do you have? (4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? (5)...

Thanks. Didn’t notice that. I’ve ordered the same coop, so once up and running will post a bit more!

3 years now - what do you think of the Peavey Mart coop?

Nice! Free or nearly free pallets are great, and I'm thinking of doing something similar... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
