Too funny. That made me giggle!

Thank you so much for letting me know! I guess I never thought anyone would actually LEAVE this forum rofl. I built water buckets and used pvc pipe and nipples but I can’t keep my girls from roosting on them! It breaks the seal and then they leak lol so I was looking at different ideas and came...

Can you post a link to the video?

Great article. Inspiring. Having a step by step guide with pictures is fantastic. Takes out the guessing and replaces it with knowledge.

This was such a great article. Thank you for writing it. I think I am going to give it a try! I currently feed pellets but am trying to get away from it. Is there any way you can link to the feed you are using?

Thank you. I will end up doing that I’m sure. I can’t thank all of you enough for sharing your ideas, your time and encouragement. I’ll keep everyone posted!

I appreciate the input on the deer netting. Saves me money and heart ache learning from others. I’m going to research some prices. I also really like the craigslist idea and going to start looking there.

Thank you i thought about that but wasn’t sure if they would use them. Now that someone has suggested it, I can definitely put out some cover for them. Thank you!

I love your thoughts. Has anyone ever accused you of being a genius! Lol. That’s a fantastic idea. I was actually considering doing something somewhat similar. I was thinking of using wood posts and then deer netting to make the sides taller and then using the netting to make a “ceiling” if that...

Right now we have 10 larger ones that are about to start laying and 6 smaller ones that are probably a few months from laying. I would probably like to have around 25 total. The run is 80 feet by about 30. It has a short field fence on three sides and then the shop wall on the fourth. There is...

That sounds like a great idea. We recently installed power and lights in the stalls so that should be totally doable.

We recently bought a house and a 6 bay shop. Attached to the end of the shop is four “stalls”. Along the backside of the shop is a fenced in area (fenced is a strong word lol). The stall closest to the run was converted into a chicken coop with a raisable door. We have our chickens in there now...

I don’t think you will regret it. We love her. The pics just don’t capture how beautiful she really is. You will have to send me a pic if you get one!!

Thank you so much. I am so enamored with her. She has such a great disposition. Sweet and so easy to be around. I think we are going to try and replenish some of our kids with a few more like her!

Thank you!
