    I voted for Navy Heather, but I would have liked to have seen a very dark green.

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    I couldn't find the spot for mooching stuff. I'll apologize if this is wrong. Does anyone in the Kelso/Longview area have a couple square feet of half inch hardware cloth or tin roofing they don't need? I am still working on gettting my coop refurbished and I don't have any money to do it...

    Quote: That's kind of a funny looking chicken! --What a cutie!-- So if my yard is constantly geting swamped when it rains, is that going to be too hard on chickens? The coop half of the chicken tractor I got free off of freecycle.org sits up on a couple of rails about six inches above ground...

    Yeah, I do not doubt. I'm all sorts of busy this Saturday, so no chicken temptation for me. I hope there are more shows like it along through the year. I'll definitely be looking at such with new eyes. Thanks for the warm welcome, folks!

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    I'm new, here, and just got bit by the chicken bug. I was all set to think about it for a longish while, since I'm about broke and all, but then a few chicken tractors came up on Freecycle.org. My wife went and got one, and I have spent the last week in modifications and repairs. So now I'm...

    nesting box height?

    Right on. I can do that a lot easier now than when it is all attached!

    How many will be good in this?

    I made a nesting box to add on as my first improvement. Among the other improvements I have in mind is to rebuild underneath. It currently has a short pedestal of 2x6 on edge on three sides to facilitate moving with a forklift, and while a forklift might be fun, I just don't have one, and it...

    nesting box height?

    I was just looking for this same thing. I got a coop without nesting boxes for free, but I wanted to build one and attach it on the outside to make it easier to get at the eggs (this thing is build for dinosaurs! The coop lid weighs at least twenty pounds.) So today I built the box, and...

    Where does a Golden Sex-link fit on that scale?

    Can I have chickens too?

    Way sooner than expected, I got my chicken tractor, and it was free for the grabbing! I got the lid off the coop and scraped it out with the shovel and how. It can use a good cleaning besides, and a bit of paint, but it is real solid. I'm thinking a traditional red stain for the painting...

    How many will be good in this?

    Sorry. It is a video on youtube. The pen is about 4ft by 6ft and the coop is 4ft by 4ft. They are supposed to bolt together to make a tractor. I reckon it will work just fine with a bit of bolting and nailing and a couple of wheels. It sounds like it might work best with four chickens, if...

    How many will be good in this?

    I got a chicken tractor free on "freecycle" and am in the process of cleaning and rebuilding it. I have only even been considering chickens for a week or so when this came up, and so here I am with a pen and coop way sooner than I ever expected. It's all down to a friend giving me a couple...

    Can I have chickens too?

    In the whole ten hours I have been on the chicken trail, I guess I am considering the golden sex-link as a breed of choice, though it may be more fun to have several different types among the flock. It will be a while till I get or make anything, but I'm quite liable to brag on it in these...

    Can I have chickens too?

    I've just eaten a wonderful Sunday lunch of eggs from a friend with six chickens. These huge brown eggs are so much yellower and tastier than the white ones from the store. I have a yard. I am technically in the country (about a mile out of the city of Kelso, Washington), though I am governed...
