Homesteading Chicken Coop Build, Chickens, Pond, Garden & Projects

I found pics of past models of the same coop and it had a more opened up entrance to the boxes, so I was just curious. I guess I'll find out once my hens start laying and if the eggs are everywhere but the boxes.

 

I appreciate the input!

 

My daughter (17) just got several more chickens. Unfortunately, one is a silkie rooster. One is limping and looks really old. The others are fine, but we are only allowed a few chickens with NO roosters. Our neighbor gifted us his large shed that we took apart yesterday and put back together. She is on her spring break this week and is currently cutting in a chicken door. Then onto building a roosting platform and nest boxes....

 

"Baloot!"

 

I'm guessing unfortunate because he said they can't have roosters, only hens. Thats the rule of my town too. Kinda lame but I do understand it here in the suburbs. Actually the town says no roosters unless you're on 5+ acres.

Pretty sure one of my Mystic Maran chicks is a male. It looks bigger than the others and has a big white spot on his head which supposedly only males have.

 

It only crowed a little bit once.... My daughter really wants a rooster, but we will see. We are only allowed 4 chickens, no roosters. Our neighbor is "letting us raise their chickens" for them. That makes 8. One hasn't laid an egg in months. One is a rooster, that only leaves 6 layers...

 

My chicks moved into their "teenage home"... the plastic crate was getting too small for them.

 

Where did you get the "teenage home."

 

Well I may need a place to sleep after my wife finds out what I brought home.

 

You're going to need a bigger tub, more bedding and more lights then!
