OK, then what does the "+ quote" do?

Thank you!

That seems like the proper thing to do. Somehow I think my hubs would say the same thing. I just can't imagine him out there helping me.

I think my reply was meant for someone else and I can't fix it. Sigh.

Regarding your statement that if I had a predator proof run I could keep the pop door open. I have fairly moderate weather here so I'm thinking maybe leaving the pop door open might work. But at the same time I thought wouldn't that lead to colder conditions inside the coop? I know the birds...

Yes, it is. I feel better already. Can't wait till it stops raining for a minute so I can get out there building and predator proofing! Thanks!

Have you ever missed collecting eggs in a 24 hour period? Is that a no no?

Yes, I have all those kids but I had that many two leggers, too! I are with you on the simple DIY coop. I don't mind walking in to collect the eggs, check things out and do clean up.

Thank you for all your information! This is getting more doable by the day!

Sounds like a lot of wisdom there. I think I have a lot of possibilities on my piece of land that will make them happy. Two other things to research: dogs, meet chickens and vice versa and fermenting their grains. That sounds interesting to me. Thanks for your input!

Sounds good! I'm leaning towards the secure :fl run. That seems most natural to me. Then let them out into the bigger area when I can.

That's hilarious! :D I'll bet she's your favorite!

Thank you, I just wanted to be more sure than not. You birders give me hope. :D
