    Our first DIY coop conversion

    My husband wanted chickens so guess who spends all their time worrying/obsessing about every little detail about keeping them healthy and happy. Hint: not my husband. Read up on turning playhouses into coops so we started looking for one. Wasn’t sure if I wanted wood or plastic so I just looked...

    [Build] Yet Another Playhouse Coop Conversion

    First, an inventory: I picked this up locally for $40, plus $30 delivery: This is a 'Backyard Discovery' playhouse, made of cedar and some plastic bits. This not-mine picture below shows one that's a little less-loved: The main difference being that the quasi-fake portico over the door...

    Would these holes need to be covered for a duck house?

    I know for certain it would be too drafty for the chickens. I am thinking of hw cloth as the holes are at least 1" with a temporary cover that could be removed to allow air flow in the warmer months? It is a repurposed child's playhouse.

    185 Cluck Cottage Lane

    I had wanted chickens since I was 6 years old. So at the age of 38, when I heard the news that the city of Jacksonville, Fl was going to give out 300 permits I excitedly jumped in. We were awarded permit #185! Neither my boyfriend nor I are handy people. In fact we had never built a thing in our...
