Thanks for the fix! Great thread! I don't want to cut too many large holes in the building because I don't want to compromise the stability.
If I do that chicken wire wall to separate a storage section in the front, I could, theoretically, leave the double doors out front open on the really...
That link just brings me right back to this thread. I thought I was crazy the first time, but the second and third, I figure maybe it's a bad link. LOL
My phone is being a jerk so it will be tomorrow before I can check out that link. There will be a large outdoor run with lots of roosts an shady areas and water and such as well. I told my father in law that that was too many nest boxes but he has it in his head that I should have 10 so I just...
I don't really think heat will be much of a problem where I am. I am in Coastal Mississippi and I generally wear flip flops comfortably all year around. I was more concerned about making sure their area was shady enough that they wouldn't get too hot during the summer and fall.
I definitely...
So should I ADD a large went on the east and west walls (the only walls where they could feasibly get any higher) or IN PLACE OF the vents I have added in the plans? I'm going to go read that link, but I had to ask my questions before I forgot them ;)

It was a good size one too! I was kinda shocked that she laid one her first day at my place. I figured they would be out of sorts for a few days at least. Of course, she didn't give me one yesterday, so maybe she just already had that one finished... lol
I got two grown girls this weekend! A friend at work was looking for a home for them for her elderly aunt and uncle and they wanted someone that wouldn't eat them! They are sweet as can be. I assume Rhode Island Red.
I use Timothy Hay for my girls. I pay 6.90 per rectangular bail. when I rake it out of the coop, it goes straight into the flower beds or around my fruit/ornamental trees so it does double duty. litter/nesting for my girls, and fertilizer for my plants. Plus I just really love the smell of the...
Yay! Fluff will be thrilled to know that she can now continue scratching and foraging without having to wonder who she will be when she grows up :)
Sorry, but you have to have a little humor and fun in life. ;)
Yeah I really didn't want her to be lonely. So now she has some buddies. A guy at work actually just dropped another one off in my office so now I have Dumplin in a milk jug on my desk! lol
Oops! I did! I posted them in a different thread though trying to see if we could figure out who they are going to be when they grow up :)
I couldn't get great shots of them, they were being all wiggly, but I will try to get some better ones this weekend.
So these guys are Nugget, Blue, and...
Fluff is having an identity crisis! No one can tell what she is! She is about 6 weeks old.
And these are Fluffs new friends: Nugget, Blue and Cheepers. They are all mixed breeds, just not sure of which breeds! Lol also between 6 and 8 weeks
I really hope those work and aren't huge because...
Yeah, sadly the only ones I have been able to find are either itty bitty chicks or fully grown. And I don't have power to my coop so I can have itty bitties. :( up shot is it never gets too terribly cold here but I still think the cool fall nights would be too much for a baby.
