Update

The first batch of my heritage Jersey Giants began to hatch today. I will be at Baby Animal Day at Buchanan Cellers here in Mcminnville. I will have a coop there for sale but no chicks this time.
The event will be on April 2. It is also a great place to bring the family, they will have a range of baby animals there to look at. I hope to see you there.

The Double Decker

This is a new coop that I have designed and built. It has a grass area on the bottom and a sleeping/laying area on the top. It can hold 4 Giants, and about 7-8 bantams.

I have it on blocks and am keeping it indoors untill I sell it.

It official

I am now breeding Jersey Giants instead of polish! The reason I switched to the Giants is because it seems more practicle to breed a dual purpose breed and not just an ornamental bird. Jersey Giants are breed that was specificaly bred for the table, it is an american breed where the crossing of Brahmas and Langshans was instrumental in its up comming. In the early 1900's It was not unusual for a cock to get up to 20 lbs, but today they are only about 11-15 pounds full grown.  The jersey giant makes a fine pet bird and it is also a good layer of large brown eggs. Do to there size they are very calm birds and donot tend to fly a whole lot; but this also might make it harder for a child who wants to hold the birds when they are all grown up.

How to get grass in your chicken coop!

Every one who owns chickens knows that in a few short weeks your coop can go from a grassy wonderland to a smelly mud pit.
This one challenge has kept poeple from keeping poultry. But there is a simple remidy that can be built in under 30 minutes. Chicken coop grass growers!

This is how they work.The sides (2x6's) have garden wire (1/2 gauge) over the top to keep the grass growing but if it gets too tall the chickens can and will eat it.

Building directions:
You will need,
pressure treated 2x6s (of the desired lengths)
1/2 inch gauge garden wire/garden fencing
heavy duty wood staples
3-4 inch nails or wood screws

Cut the 2x6's to the length of the side of yoor coop that you plan to have your grass grower on.
The grass grower shoud not exceed 3 feet wide.
If the LENGTH of your grass grower exceeds 5 feet you should put an extra suport in the middle.
After you atatch all of the sides together place the wire over the top and atatch it together using the stapples.
Place it in your coop on level ground, then add unfertilized grass seed. If the grass seed does not grow, add unfertilized soil on top of the grass seed.
