Very nice article on why keeping chickens for meat, eggs and entertainment is healthy on so many levels. Brings up all the great points, it would definitely convince me to keep chickens if I didn't already. Wonderful job!
I like this idea so I gave this article 4 stars for its potential. It looks like a nice tractor style or temp coop, needs a bit of predator proofing yet, but it would definitely be a great place to hang out for the day. Do you have and pics of the inside?
I plan to ad some hardware cloth to the bottom before I put new chicks into it to grow out. Right now I have my 2 roosters in it to give my girls a break. Picks of the inside are included in the photos. But I am going to add outside laying boxes and extend the floor space of the coop by moving the wall out 12 inches.
It seems a bit small but if birds spend much of their days outside, it looks like a good place to sleep overnight or get out of the weather. Great plans, lots of photos, great job!
Thank you. Yes, they are outside in the pen every day and sleep inside at night. When the weather and my time permits I let them out to hunt in the yard when I’m working in the yard
Wow, this bird is a real trooper to have survived all this! This must have been difficult for you as well watching this unfold. If I could give this article 10 stars, I would. You did so well in caring for this bird, helping her to heal along the way, all the documentation and photos... GREAT job!! Oh and give her a hug for me!
