While I enjoyed reading about the provenance of the building and it’s updates, I think the best part was the continuing story - I really loved that you kept updating the article to include both the good and bad things about it through the seasons.
This is the type of practical information that people really need to build or develop a coop. Well done!
Oh and ps that rusty roof is to die for!

Thanks! ... btw, I saw you were from Thunder Bay... I fished eagle lake and it’s surrounding portage lakes for several years in the past, it’s very pretty up there... I’d like to back up that way.

Love this story, it has inspired me to start incubating - which I’ve been wanting to do, but was nervous about. I can’t wait now to make some babies!

I use the Brinsea Mini 2 Advance and it is super easy once you set it up! It is a little costly if you're just doing one hatching though (~$150 on Amazon). You can usually find incubators on craigslist too, sometimes at great deals. Remember not all eggs are going to hatch even if everything seems great! So Good luck and have fun!

Thank you so much for such an excellent article, you covered everything necessary. As a taxidermist, I am always washing and fluffing various birds, though I use chemicals and tools you’d NEVER use on a live bird! Your silkies are gorgeous and I can’t wait to try cleaning a bird, (a dead one!), with safer and gentler chemicals and tools.

I’m always happy to find others who keep their freeloading retirees; I’m not opposed to eating my meat birds but I just can’t do that to my old hen friends
