We put plastic up for the winter to keep the snow and wind out. I lift the plastic up on nice days but its closed again because of the temperature drop. The plastic will come off once spring weather finally comes.

Looking to purchase a doeling or two this year. Does anyone know of a good small scale breeder that tests and vaccinates in Ontario?

I designed a coop last year and my hubby made my dream come true. Wanted to share, predator issues solved finally!

I left a gap at the top of the coop for ventilation so now when I walk in at roosting time I get to see this and it makes me laugh every darn time! Just wanted to share!

Good morning! I am deciding on which chicken breeds I will buy in the spring. Due to old age and a hawk attack I am down to 3 orpington hens. Is there a nice breed that would blend well with my breed? I was looking at rhodebar, scarlet

Thank you so much for the replies and suggestions! I'm not sure what I am looking for. I guess one that would hold at least 12 eggs and would be suitable for duck eggs. Automatic turner and not a still air.
