    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    I didn't think about steel roofing projects, that's a GREAT idea. Right now, my truck doesn't have any gas, so I can't go anywhere. BUT, I will get some gas on the 2nd of the month when I get my check and then I will be going out to look for people doing re-roofing. I called the local place...

    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    I have NO money. Seriously, none, so I got some free shipping crates from the feed store and a friend gave me some chick netting. I scrounged some nails and screws and re-used some of the nails from the shipping crates. This is the wood that came from those crates after I took them apart...

    I just found this thread! Amazing. It took a while to read this book of posts, but Phew! I only have two chicks. Mama Hen and Baby Chick. I'll keep tabs now.

    Building a chicken coop inexpensively

    I went to Atwoods, but TSC has them too. I am using shipping crates from them that they normally throw in the dumpster. Most of the wood is between 3 and 6 feet long. The pieces are 2 x 3 and 1 x 3. They practically begged me to take the stuff. They even loaded it on my truck for me. The...

    Building a chicken coop inexpensively

    As a matter of fact... take a look at my thread here https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/cheezychicken-builds-a-coop. I am building mine for free... yep, that's it free. OK, some of the things I am using, I got earlier and had in my stash, like my tools, but for the most part, everything else...

    This is just too funny...

    Not my chicken. One of the people at backyardherds. Sheepgirl posted it. I thought it was very funny. It totally made my morning to read about it.

    We got some Dr. Seuss "Sneetch's"

    Those are the coolest looking birds EVER! No wonder your daughter likes them. And they are very interesting looking. Your wife married a great husband. You have a wonderful sense of humor and whimsy. And you married a great wife! She is to be commended for her patience.

    Need a way to attach welded wire to cattle panels and to itself

    I use rebar ties. They have a little ring on each end and you get a tool for about 3 bucks that you use to twist the wires on with. FOR extra strength, use two rebar ties. It costs about 2.50 for 100 ties (or 1000 for 10 bucks) at home depot and they cut off with a pair of dikes really...

    Who else took the chick plunge! (Pics on post 101)

    OK, this is Mommy Chick! She can barely get her little winglet over her "baby".

    Who else took the chick plunge! (Pics on post 101)

    Whenever I go in with my camera they stop doing it. But here are some pictures. Of course then the little one has to try and squish herself back underneath her "Big Mommy" again.

    Who else took the chick plunge! (Pics on post 101)

    OK, I hope not too much loss is expected, because I only have two, count 'em, two chicks. They are both pullets. But if some loss is expected, my flock is going to go down by 50% pretty fast. I'm new to all this chicken raising stuff. Of course, my landlord has a bunch of the little fluffy...
