    Free 3 month old Amberlink Rooster

    If you're in the market for a free Amberlink rooster let me know. I live in Fawn Twp Pennsylvania. I don't have the heart to cull the Bird. He's beautiful. He was my wife's 10 year anniversary gift :)

    FightingBunny CaveManRich is correct. The concrete footers I used would not work well on a hill. Digging post holes and filling with concrete would provide more stability. For me, the idea behind using these was to prevent rot over time and more importantly to make the coop's position not so...

    Thoughts On This Coop From TSC

    Here is the coop I just built. It took me about a week to finish and it cost around $1000. Inside dimensions are 36 ft.², The high side stands nearly 8 feet tall from the floor to the ceiling. Plenty of room for getting in there to clean out and to pimp it out with all kinds of perches for...

    When I get home from work today I'll take a few close-ups for you. The windows were pretty simple. I tacked chicken wire around the opening of the framed window then covered it with 1x4 trim. ( I ripped down one by six fence pickets from Home Depot. They cost around $1.50 versus the actual...

    Brown Leghorns vs. Rhode Island Reds
