    Gazebo to coop 😍

    I know!!! The ventilation possibilities of this bad boy are unreal. I definitely planned on leaving the top holes on the roof uncovered and putting hardware cloth on them. There’s even another cupola that is screwed on top, we just took it off for transport. I hate to enclose everything because...

    Gazebo to coop 😍

    I got the gazebo!!! For a steal. $800 total. 4 for the gazebo itself, 4 for transport. I couldn’t have found a better deal, and the transporter was so professional. He had it up on his trailer within 15 minutes, and drove it the 45 minutes home with no issues When I saw this thing, I knew it...

    Speckled egg or bloody?

    Side note..the surface of the egg feels different than those that are non-speckled

    Speckled egg or bloody?

    I feel like this could be an incredibly obvious question..but I truly do not know the answer lol. I’ve been getting these speckled-ish eggs almost daily. I believe I do have a Welsummer in my mix, so maybe it’s from her? I have the occasional egg that definitely has blood on it, this is my...

    Gazebo - is this possible?

    Good news!! Searched ALL day...I was giving up hope until I got a text back at 9 pm. An Amish shed building company is willing to transport the gazebo for $400!!! We just need to make sure there are 4x4 skids under the gazebo and vwallah

    Gazebo - is this possible?

    We also thought of doing this...only issue is the roof. Would we just cut it off and re-attach it? I’m not well versed in carpentry, but I seem to have be able to do basic things And go for it! Heck, build another one! What’s one more coop? 😉

    Gazebo - is this possible?

    Also...for cost of the current build...so far I’ve spent about $400. That’s for the base frame 4x4’s, one sheet of plywood for the floor, and the framing lumber. I have yet to buy the plywood for the entire coop, and with lumber costs as high as they are, this would cost a minimum of $450 if I...

    Gazebo - is this possible?

    Wouldn’t it be? I saw it on the marketplace and my wheels got to turning. A fresh coat of paint, some predator proofing, nest boxes and some roosting bars and she’d be a pretty gorgeous chicken chateau. I have so much leftover lumber and hardware cloth from previous projects that converting it...

    Gazebo - is this possible?

    I’ve been searching all day for shed moving companies, someone also suggested tow truck companies. The current owner of the gazebo just has it sitting flat on the ground. We could do this as well, although I was thinking of at least putting a layer of pavers down. Otherwise we’d put gravel down...

    Gazebo - is this possible?

    I do have a truck...I’m thinking we’d need a large gooseneck flatbed. A lot of men, and a lot of alcoholic beverages and fresh eggs for enticement 😂

    Gazebo - is this possible?

    thanks so much for your reply!! I have considered those resin sheds. They do look nice for sure. I would have to put in work/materials to make it do able though. I will definitely keep that in mind. I’m only paying $400 for the gazebo, so if I can get it transported for a smallish amount I could...

    Gazebo - is this possible?

    So...I already have 14 chickens. Spent all last summer long making their coop a home, building the run. I thought I was done and satisfied. Until chicken math kicked in and I decided I wanted another coop to be able to have more chickens. Started building a 4x7 pallet coop, decided I wasn’t...

    Just witnessed a chick choking

    I never thought in a million years I’d be sitting on the floor, fresh out of the shower with just a towel and worried sick about a chick in my lap, but here we are. I’ve got 5 bantams in the brooder right now, about 5 1/2 weeks old. They sure are feisty little buggers. I’ve got a for sure...

    Bet your run has zero odor! That’s what I’m looking forward to most with this in the coop. That and the ease of scooping the poop. I wish I had done linoleum...I painted my floor about 5 layers of exterior paint. I suppose I could always go back and add linoleum
