Today I started Signature Series Coop 006. After discussion some details with the client two things stood out in importance.....old barn and portable. So after a couple weeks of looking I picked up the right trailer to build the coop on. I stopped by the steel yard on the way hope just to get a...

Personally I am very proud of my kiddo. He has 2 OEG bantams. One is dubbed (he was that way when we got him) and the...
