    Coop from old playset

    I picked it up at menards. It was 9.99 for an 18in x 24 in. It's not very thick, I think maybe .100 in. It was a little more than I wanted to spend but it is what it is. It was in the window section, kind of hidden. Took me forever to find it. They sell acryic cutters but it doesn't need to...

    Coop from old playset

    Thank you. My goal was to get the addition on and secured as quick as possible. Still have to open up the run underneath, paint, and do the roof, but none of those should take very long. I decided to wire half of the roof line on each side. I bought some plexi glass and will use that to cover...

    Coop from old playset

    P Took your advice and started the add on. It's about 17 sq ft, so it gives em another sq ft per chicken. It took all the left over wood I had, so that's as big as it's gonna get for now. Was able to get the base and roof on, should be able to have it tiled and sealed up with the door by...

    Coop from old playset

    The lamp is actually a secured flood light fixure covered with chicken wire. Unfortunately it is necessary right now as my chicks range from a 1 1/2 weeks to 6 weeks. The youngest batch are still in the brooder, although I let them out each day to get acclimated. Once they feather out the light...

    Salmon Faverolles or mystery chick *pics*

    Were you ever able to determine the breed? I have one that looks very similar that I can't figure out.

    Thanks! I tried to get my boys involved as much as I could. They have been a big help, part of which I'm sure has to do with the fact that they get to play with power tools!

    Coop from old playset

    Thanks, much appreciated. The gable vents are functional, the cupola is just decorative. I left the eaves open and covered them with wire for ventilation. One of the shutters has been broken for some time and is missing. I've searched the internet high and low for the plastic hinge pieces with...

    Coop from old playset

    Thought I would post this since I couldn't find a lot of similar info when I was constructing my coop. I'm a newbie to chickens and was looking for an inexpensive way to get started. Most of the coop designs I liked were pricey to build and even more expensive to buy pre made. I ended up...

    What kind of chicks?

    After looking up some pics of production reds I think you are spot on. Any guesses on #2? Thanks

    What kind of chicks?

    New to raising chickens and BYC. I recently bought 4 pullets at tractor supply out of the ISA brown bin. I let my three year old pick the ones he wanted. Two of the chicks look identical to my other ISA's. The other two are pictured below and look a lot different. #1 is a golden color with a...
