Hello everyone, first time post here. I recently convinced my partner to allow me to get some chickens! She has told me she is "afraid" of chickens, but she knows this is something I have wanted for some time; after a lot of research and chicken videos she is finally on board! Little does she...

I am in LOVE with my new coop from SanTan Valley Coops! Marco built it in Arizona, and delivered it to LA, assembling it on my property. I opted to paint it and embellish. Am obsessed. Just wanted you all to see.

I have no clue as to why my hen would be dead this morning. We had a regular morning. I went out at 6 AM to feed, water and pet my flock. They are well trained (or I am) because they know if they start cackling I'll come to open the coop door and let them graze in the yard. Little Bo Peep was...

Hi, I have 3, 6 week old chickens that I just put outside in a temporary coop (almost done building the actual coop+run), and every night just before the sun is about to go down, they all freak out. They chirp loud and persistently, they fly to the top of the run and Flap around. I have a hell...

We just expanded our a chicken run for our 4 back yard city chickens. We had never had a single problem with predators before. We live in Louisville, KY in the middle of the city. I grew up on a farm and raised tons and tons of free range chickens and like to think I know how to keep them safe...

My chicken house is a bit small. - OK really small! I made the mistake of buying a darling chicken house on Amazon. WOW what a mistake. There isn't even room for a roost. So, seeing as my girls are sleeping in the "nesting boxes", really just an extra space divided in two, should I build...

I'm Nicole, and am thrilled to have found this site. I have actually been "stalking" for quite a while before I joined. We are a new chicken family, (and I say family because my youngest son who is 12, has taken on the role of chicken whisperer). I have wanted chickens for years now. I won't eat...
