I just sent an email to find out pricing because I was going to raise them. I hope this isn't true.

Great looking coop! How big is the coop?

I just followed you on twitter. The account for my new blog is @BlossomFarms

I was looking at that plan. Still trying to decide if we should attempt to make one with our limited carpentry experience or if we should just buy one.

I look forward to checking out everyone's blogs. Here is a link to the blog I'm starting Blossom Backyard Farm I will be starting to post on there this week.

That is cute.

Thanks Chris! Would I want the course variety?

What a pretty chick! Do they stay that color through adulthood?

Good questions. I'm also a new chicken mom, so I'm trying to learn a lot. Is the sand mentioned the same type that is used in making concrete?

Looks good! I'm not too handy, so I'm trying to figure out if I should even attempt to build our coop or just buy one.

The height of the a-frame was a concern of mine. A stool would help, I'm sure. Thanks for giving me your opinion of the coop!

Looks wonderful! That coop is one that I have been considering. Do you like it? I'm still debating if we should just buy one or try our hand at building one.

I ended up using some 1x2 that were leftover from a project that was completed ages ago. The boards have a nice weathered look...yeah, that's it...a weathered look, lol! Just a basic screen with some hardware cloth that I had. It keeps the new chicks who found their wing feathers safely...

I'm still trying to figure out a plan for our coop. I thought we were just going to get a pre-fab model, but now we are thinking about building. Have to decide soon since the chicks downstairs are growing lots everyday. I'm considering having an automatic door for the coop. I'm not yet...

Looks like a nice coop. I have to say that stories like this make me think building a coop might be possible. I will also have a couple of kids helping out :)
