Just a quick update:  We're moving along on this and should have it done soon!   Sorry for the delay, we've been super busy getting ready for the release of the new official book of BYC.

Thank you so much!!! The inspiration and information gained from BYC has turned me into a Chicken Keeping Crusader and we are getting so much joy from our flock. DH will be so happy and maybe now he will build me another wink.


Check out my blog at http://www.simplebutta.blogspot.com/. I discuss everything from chickens to children. Crusader for the thrifty, eco-friendly lifestyle and mom of 1 great big hubby, 1 great big boy, 2 little girls, 1 pug, 2 cats, and 6 NHR and 12 new chicks - 3 SLW, 3 BR, 3 Delawares and 3 Dominiques.

Re: Ended - Coop Design Contest - Summer 2009

Congratulations SpunkyTheMonkey, goody2230, alamogirl, and ecocheapomom!  Those are all fabulous coops!

They each had great BYC pages with detailed designs!  I know lots of folks will now be using them and many of the other entries as inspiration and reference.

Re: Ended - Coop Design Contest - Summer 2009

Congrats to the winners!

I love that BYC has these contests - it motivates people (like me) to actually document and publish their coop building adventures. Adding to the BYC coop pages just makes BYC an even better resource for would-be chicken owners. It's a win-win!
