Awesome setup David!

Awesome setup David!!!

Great ideas guys! Unfortunately, there is a bit of a caveat to that whole idea, there is a kitchen window AND dining room window that would be cut off in 1/2 if you did it at the 6' height of the wall. The bottom of those windows are 4' off the ground, so that kills the idea of still putting a...

LOL That is awesome! I don't think I would touch a pair of crocs if my life depended on it. There is a direct link from wearing crocs to the exponential decline is sex appeal. LOL I will definitely get a pair of these for outside for me and I could even keep them in the storage section of my...

I would love to switch it the other way around, but there is one major flaw in the whole plan. The Wife! LOL The deal was I do all the work, she collects the eggs and doesn't have to walk across any poo or stuff... To answer Speedy2020, the smell won't be an issue because there was some...

I was planning on something like that. If you notice the roof slant, it actually faces south and I am going to put a solar panel on it and store the battery in the area marked storage. This would be perfect!

No worries. This is my first shot and I have heard they will tear up the grass big time. Overall though, does the floor plan/design of the coop make sense? Did I miss anything? I tried to incorporate the roost size, the nesting boxes, plus I will be installing fans to move the air as well as a...

The chicken run will be 4' wide x 21' long. I wouldn't consider 84 sq ft cruel as every rule of thumb I have read is 10 sq ft per chicken. This design is just for the coop which if you include the nesting boxes is approx. 4 sq ft per chicken of interior space and 7 linear feet of roosting space...

You mean this kind of doodle? :-) Here is my thoughts and let me know if you think this will fly... no pun intended. Hopefully you can see all the dimensions in blue that I did for it. I was an AutoCAD user years ago and I guess I still didn't lose the knack of it. I didn't bother...

The good news is that when I finish rebuilding my back yard (just bought this house 6 months ago), I will be putting a pretty large patch of grass, so I will let them free range a couple of times a week. The way I was planning on setting it up was so the nesting boxes will have easy access...

Good Morning All! We picked up our chicks this past weekend and they are happy as can be in the house right now. I was able to get my wife to buy into the idea of having chickens after a long talk. I was originally looking at 3, but then she said 5! So, here I am now with 5 baby chicks and...

Thanks muckmuck! I killed my FB page almost 9 months ago, so I won't be joining that one. Getting rid of FB was one of the healthiest choices of my life... I would rather spend the time in my garden & possibly with the future chickens now.

That is what I was thinking too... some of the rules here are ridiculous. I also have an Aquaponics garden and found out we are like 1 of 3 states that don't allow tilapia, so I went with bluegills instead. Here is an ironic story, I own a gun store here in the valley also and we received a...

Hey All!!! I am new to the chicken world and been researching a bit to see if chickens would be good for my yard. I live in Las Vegas also and don't have an association (Thank God!), but from what I found out, it looks like I need a "Mother-May-I" from ALL my neighbors within 350' of my house to...
