    Awww...thanks, Y'all! My two neighbors, my son, and my DH (when he's home) are working on this for me. I'm not allowed to lift or stretch (or walk basically...LOL) so I gave them my "specifics" of what I wanted out of it, and the neighbor put his thought process into it, and this is where we...

    LOL...I guess I should rephrase that. The left side is the 8X6 lean-to that I am putting my hutches under! And the 8X32ish run (which will be off the right side of the coop) is going to be divided down the center (4X32) with a chicken door for each half so that I can sow seed and have a bit of...

    Our new chicken coop/rabbit hutch in the making! The men are supposed to be hammering on this some more this weekend! I can't wait to have eggs again! 8X6 HUTCH, 8X6 COOP, AND 8X32 RUN. I can't wait!

    I've pretty much decided that if we are destined to have chicks hatched around here, it's going to be by way of a broody hen...LOL. Who knows...crazy chicken ladies (currently with no chickens) have been known to change their minds now and then... I totally hope it works out for him!

    LOL...he's ridden in them with me before. We're waiting to see if he can ride with one of the other students. They haven't even told us which test site yet! This is still fixing the mess from the ice storm we had. They were supposed to test that week. Thank you for the offer, but hopefully he'll...

    But alas, my coop is still in the making. Our set date to have everything done is by Bluegrass auction on 4/12. Of course my DH (who drives truck) hasn't made it home in two weeks now, AND I just found out my son's ACT test date is the same day as the auction. Hmmmm...go to auction and find him...

    I know!! Every flappin' bird there was $18-$20 not matter what they were or what condition they were in. That's why I said that I had massive sticker shock when I went there; compared to the previous auction! We went to the one down the road from Bluegrass out by Elkton. It only happens in...

    I totally understand...I wasn't trying to fluff any feathers (giggle). I really do want hens from good stock! And the investment pays off anyway. I'm the only female on the property out of 3 humans, 2 dogs, and 2 rabbits! And three of those are in teenager stages! So I understand the feed...

    Well then we got ours for a steal last year! $6 a head at auction! No kidding! So you can imagine my price tag shock this year! (And I'm glad the cheaper birds ended up being my learning curve and (unfortunately) my dog's lunch!LOL Thus the reason for the new "fortified" coop built on the...

    My DH, the truck driver, said you're only 1 1/2 to 2 hours from us. Thanks heavens he's not geographically illiterate! LOL Not a bad Sunday drive.

    Where is Coffee County? We just moved here 1 1/2 years ago, so I'm still pretty much geographically illiterate! LOL

    Hi there! I've been signed up on BYC for like a year, but I haven't said anything (which is AMAZING for me - ask anybody I know! LOL) My question is...is anyone going to have RIR pullets who are "Coop Ready" in a few weeks to sell? We really don't want to mess with chicks to restart our coop...

    Creative Coop Names

    Our new combined coop/hutch will be finished in the next couple weeks...we've been trying to think up original names for the 6X8 coop, attached 6X8 lean to rabbit hutch, and the 8X32ish double run (half at a time is opened to control pasturing). After hours of foraging through threads and...

    I'm in! Is there a set number that we should have in each envelope? A guideline? I want to do this right, and I'm notorious for over thinking things...Lol.

    I've never done this either. I'm interested in anything edible, medicinal, herbal, livestock feed, trees. Basically, if it grows, I'll find a purpose for it...Lol. I'm not sure if I have enough in variety or amount to contribute. I have some purple coneflower (Echinacea), Sycamore tree, French...
