    Poop board convert *warning-graphic/gross poop pictures*

    Is what you do to clean up the area similar to sifting cat poop out of a litter box? Just scoop, shake, toss? Seems so low maintenance and lovely!

    Is $200 a good price for small, used coop?

    The reason I cannot build a coop myself is because the only two tools I own are a hammer and a screw driver. That won't get me far, and purchasing the tools needed to build a coop would cost more than paying someone else to do the work. I did find a carpenter who seemed like he could build...

    Is $200 a good price for small, used coop?

    Suezqz, the exterior nest boxes is the only thing I was told to be sure to have by my uncle who once had chickens. He said going into a coop for eggs will get me pecked to death, and I must admit that his statement sort of freaked me out (he even provided details of how his hands were covered...

    Is $200 a good price for small, used coop?

    Oregon, you read my mind! After getting frustrated with the price of coops, I began searching for a dog house that I coop out on my own. Also began searching on craigslist for some supplies to cut down on cost and hopefully recycle someone else's junk! I found a dog house that, with a...

    Is $200 a good price for small, used coop?

    Unfortunately the owner of the coop said I cannot stop by to check out the condition/layout/size. That alone should probably be a red flag. And I've asked for pictures, but he never sent them. That being said, if the price was low enough, I would take just about anything knowing that with TLC...

    Is $200 a good price for small, used coop?

    Time to pick your brains, BYC folks! I found someone who is willing to sell me a used coop that could house four chickens (max), but he said it was in "average" condition (which could mean different things to different people) and will just do the job in housing hens. No frills, no bells and...

    Alright, confession time! Obviously I'm not much of a poster on this thread, but I do keep up with all that is said and have had to hold in my desire to own chickens due to fussy neighbors...until NOW! I have been speaking with my neighborhood board members for the past couple of months...

    What does a grey silkie look like?

    Wow, those are gorgeous silkies! Do you strictly keep them as pets, for showing or for laying eggs (when they choose to do so)? I'd like to have a couple of hens but don't know what route I would go with them (ie show or pets).

    Indeed, the late winter has got my patience dwindling and I'm wanting to build my coop NOW instead of waiting until March. Oh, and the other issue...waiting to hear from my association as to whether or not I need to do more convincing as to why my neighborhood residents and I should have the...

    Quote: I'm just east of you in an outlaw chicken city... I got my chicks from TSC as day-old peepers, then a pair of older bantams from 1Muttsfan. I built my own coop(s) inside my garage. I didn't know about the Brighton place. What kind of chicks do they have? I want to add a couple of Jersy...

    Quote: Opa, I am from Ann Arbor but am familiar with most of SE Michigan and frequent Detroit suburbs. There is a place in Brighton that I've found which builds coops and has chicks for sale, and they seem like really great people. Has anyone gone through a place in Brighton?

    Fellow Michiganders, do any of you live in SE Michigan? If so, where did you get your coop and chicks from?
