I am thinking I will get a little larger than a bantam. Maybe a 3 or 4lb chicken? Im not really sure!

thank you!

thanks!

Can someone post a photo of a bantam egg vs a normal sized egg? Maybe a side by side photo please? Also, if you have any barnyard mixes that are 1/2 bantam can you post a photo and tell me what the bantam is mixed with? Also, I have a calico bantam Roo. He's adorable but I have no bantam sized...

I have a couple sets of different aged hens. My bantam roo is about 6 months. My hens will be a year old in April.

has anyone hatched out a calico bantam roo with a full sized bielefelder or Ameraucana or a Cream Legbar hen? you can kind of see the roo in the background of this photo. None of my hens take him seriously so I am not even sure if Ill even get any fertilized eggs anyway but I would think the...

I have a cream legbar named Mavis. She is the sweetest girl in my flock. I love her to pieces. She is 6 months old and has not laid a thing and is not squatting but lets me cuddle her when ever I want. I cant wait to see her adorable blue egg too!

I cant wait! I have been dreaming of what my new little hatchlings will look like since I will be mixing my calico bantam roo with all of my normal sized ladies. I have a bunch of different breeds like a cream legbar, bielefelder, blue ameraucana, olive easter egger just to name a few. I will...

well, its already up. Ill tell my husband not to insulate the ceiling. thanks for the info about the nesting boxes

Sorry! I did not see your questions. We live in Iowa. It gets -20 or -30 here in the winter time and we have high winds so it could feel even colder due to the high winds because we live in a rural setting and there are no trees from the south, west or north of this building so we felt the...

nice. thank you for sharing. Where did you put your laying boxes? would you be willing to post a photo of those too?

Hello, We are in the process of finishing the inside of our new coop. I am thinking that I would build a box to go under the roost and fill it with sand for easy poop cleaning. Currently, in the old coop I have a tarp under the roost to catch the poop and it is just gross and I don't want to...

How many times can I enter a different chicken? Here is my very first entry. 14 week old Whiting True Blue.

Thanks. Ill send these ideas to my husband =)

Thank you SO MUCH for your detailed response. Im going to forward your idea to my husband and see what he thinks. Ill document it for sure so others can possibly use the idea too! thanks again! Beth

Thank you for your thoughtful advice! I didn't think of using cattle panels but that would definitely add strength to it.

Hi There - I am wondering if anyone on this forum has ever changed their chicken coop like this - to a green house? If so, how did you do it? Can you please post photos and how you did it...

Hi Guys - I live in the Midwest. My Cornish cross broilers are now 2 weeks old. They are quickly outgrowing the brooders that I have them in my basement and I gotta get them outside. Temps are 70's this week with a low of mid 60's at night. They have a Salatin style coop with plastic on 3 sides...

I bought this coop to make into a meat mobile chicken tractor. I live in the Midwest and am worried that my chickens wont have enough shelter for our weird, fluxuating weather. Is a tarp enough? We are planning on putting this thing on skids, but don't know how to attach the wood to the metal...
