"Hello Laragene,
So sorry to hear about your chicken. Anyone who has owned and loved their chickens can relate. I used to bury my chickens, but couldn't get down deep enough and my dogs would find them. So the last one that died, I put in a…"

"Hi there,
I hear that chickens do much better in the cold. They need help when it gets so hot here in Phoenix. I have a cheap mist system that I attach up about 6 feet high, in their run, along with a fan. It cools things down quite nicely and…"

"We didn't have a coop complete yet for our little chicks, so we bought a cardboard doll house! It was nice and large, about 5 feet wide and maybe 5 feet tall at the peaked roof. It was really neat and all 12 chicks fit just fine in there. We had…"
"I had some big, chain link panels that I originally used for the coop. But the wild birds get in and eat all the food, so it didn't work out for me. "
"Hello Bear,
I've seen some chicken coops at Western Ranchman. I bet if you don't like what they have, they would give you the contact info of the builder and he'd build you just what you want. I'm glad someone if finally making them as there is a…"

"I feel your concern! I took a chance and hired a 14 year old boy to come over for an hour each day to let the chickens out when I was gone. But my husband was home, so he kept an eye on things. I'm sure the chickens will be fine, but maybe there…"
"Hello there Erica. I would go with functional myself. Mine is nothing to look at, but the chickens are happy. I do have a suggestion for you.....my coop also has chicken wire on it. I ordered it online, without looking at it first because we…"
"I also have two very young roosters. Anyone interested? They are about 4 months old. Let me know.

"Hi Catherine,
I'm afraid I'll get labeled as "the crazy chicken lady!" :-0"

"Hello Beth,
I have 12 hens and now that they are molting, I get about 6 to 7, sometimes 8 eggs a day. I've been giving them freeze dried mealworms for extra protein as I read that protein helps the hens get through the molting period much faster. …"

"I prefer the coop myself. I have eleven hens. We converted a horse pen into their area where they lay their eggs and roost at night. It was all open on the sides, so we enclosed it with wire and the bottom half, we put up red wood panels. I have…"
"Great idea! I have some shallow bird bath tops that I fill with a few inches of water. Same thing........they stand in them and enjoy them a lot. I just dump them in their coop as I don't have a garden close by. And they still love digging in…"
"Hi there,
I think you are the same Jeanette that had to give your rooster up. Am I right? I was having problems with mine, and I was trying everything to try to keep him, but in the end, I had to let him go.
I too was dealing with a hen that…"

"We used red acrylic roofing, to match the coop, which is much cooler than the corregated metal. I think we got it at Home Depot. We used to have the sides of the coop made out of chain link panels, but the birds would get in and eat lots of food. …"
