Still can't find my article.....BUMMER.

Ummmmm, I just spent three days yes, three days creating an article for my coop build and when I went to submit it I got an error and the entire thing disappeared. New forum learning curve or not, I am annoyed to say the least. Does anyone know how I can get it back, seriously it took me three...

I finally got around to making a sign for my coop. Also my chicks are growing up and all doing well. My little sick Cochin is really thriving and she's a pushy little thing and I love to watch her boss the bigger girls. I found a wonderful chicken loving family to take Mr Magoo my Swedish...

Here is a quick video of my chicks enjoying the run. They just love getting out of the coop and foraging around the run. I put leaves, logs and dirt etc from the woods and they love to pick through it for worms and bugs etc. You can see the buff cochin is doing awesome and keeping right up...

Thank you! It really was a fun project. A good learning experience and very empowering! My chicks love it.

Thanks for your kind comments. Those ramp things were just there temporarily so my husband to back the tractor up to the door and dump the loam in to fill in the run. We have since removed them and planted grass on the outside. Today I built a little ladder from the floor of the coop up to...

Well time will tell I guess. Love the name Beulah, my brahma is the first one I named and she is Betsy....I dont know it just came to me that she is a Betsy so Betsy it is. Haven't named them all yet but my CL is Kiki, my barred rock cockerel is George, my sick chick buff cochin is Stella Star...

LOL! I did exactly that. Checked on the chicks MADE a pot of Dunkin and sat and relaxed while posting and reading on here. But now I have to get going as I have Easter here tomorrow and my house has been totally neglected for everything chicken lately!

Thanks aart! You have been vital in getting this project done and loyally helping along with my sick chick, thank you so much for holding my hand especially with your endless help with my little sick chick. I cannot believe that chick is thriving... Yes, I believe you are talking about my...

You are so good at this. Just looking at the pictures and you can see what I need. Yes, we still have a few things to do. Its never really DONE, done right? We have some caulking, weather stripping, need to tinker with a few of the locks etc. Im sure there will by many, many tweeks along...

And here are some pictures from this morning when I went to go check on the girls

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! So my coop is done! And the chicks spent their first night out there last night. It was cold in the 30's and probably low 30's because there was some frost on the grass this morning. But they all made it just fine even my little sick chick. I was out early in...

and......... IT'S DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND GUESS WHAT? TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PICTURES TO FOLLOW.........................probably tomorrow....I'm exhausted.

Good news. I fed the chick nutridrench every 3 to 4 hours and I would say she is 100% better. I integrated her back into the flock yesterday. She was knocking on deaths door for sure. Now back to my coop. I know I keep saying I'm almost done but there are all these tiny things. Anyway thinking...

oops that link is wrong hang on.....

So I know I have a bunch of support on this thread so Im posting here in case someone can help me. I have a approx 5 or 6 day old cochin that was never a robust chick. I think she may have injured her toenail on Sunday. Anyway she was limping pretty good yesterday. I put a small dab of...

@aartSo are you saying my light colors are good? I thought they were "happy" colors so that was my motivation. Are you thinking more light longer laying period?

Yesterday the weather was decent so I went out and painted the entire underside of the roof, poop boards, roosts, nesting boxes, two windows, coop doors and people door to the run! Why did I only take two pictures :(. Anyway the outside of my coop is kinda boring in color. Wanted to make it not...

Thanks! Ill try to get a picture. My DH put up the ramp while I wasn't home. I would have done it differently but I don't want to complain because he is helping me. Its a big gap like probably an inch at least. He used eye hooks so we could remove the ramp once in a while for thorough...

Yes, the far end will be my challenge and you KNOW that will be the preferred roosting spot. There actually is about 1' on that end where the poop board doesnt cover so which ever hen is roosting there will be pooping directly into the litter. I will have to use a rake or hand shovel to clean...
