Oh no I've checked several times for the chickens.. it's not enforced. It's just a tiny town without much going on. Shoot I was told get some ducks too the last time I asked and was told the police weren't going to go answering a call for someone saying their neighbor has chickens on their own...

More will have to wait for us to move. We're not SUPPOSED to have chickens here but there are so many people with chickens and even town hall was like.. it's not a big deal just keep them in your yard and not in the roads. But i'll for sure ask. Ideally.. I want to make it to where I can take...

Oh i forgot about craig's list. I should look there JUST in case.

Oh yeah that's a lot of food for thought, I actually got a pack of graph paper just for this project haha. I've always planned to measure twice (or four times) cut once.. that's my biggest hiccup in building any of my plans as I fear messing up something :'D shame home depot is a town over...

Ours does have that at least. :D Thankfully.. haha. It's just a lot and I'm just overwhelmed on where to start and a little disheartened in that I'm starting several months later than I wanted to.. I never dreamed it'd be so rough to find someone locally to do an odd job like this during the...

I do know I don't need a permit, if we had moved the other year that area would have required one though. I try to keep tabs on stuff like that just in case. See 1500 is way better than a lot of the sites and contractors telling me it'll be 8,000 to 12,000 for a small coop for up to 6...

I have, but I haven't had luck finding a eh.. decent shape shed around my area. Falls back to small town issue and it's a low income county so stuff like that is snapped up quickly or stuff that people post almost looks like it's falling over/rusted...

Raised coop, ideally tall enough to get my wheelbarrow at least next to it for easy cleaning/moving. planned site is near about level, I'd be leveling it out and lining the build area with cinder blocks and hardware cloth under those. I only have some basic tools, but we should be getting some...

Looking for threads, links, anything. I'm in a small town and trying to hire someone for semi quality work has been like pulling teeth. That or they are a town or two over and they want to charge 5 grand or more for a coop planned for 4 to 6 chickens heh. So I'm gonna just say forget it and...

I behind my shed is another neighbor's yard :'D I have neighbors on three sides with my main saving grace that all 3 are well aware (as well as others in the area who encourage chickens) hehe. But for the sake of the neighborhood.. we're trying to get something that looks good, we don't need...

While I'm sure a hoop coop would be fine and dandy and doable by myself. My husband has a bit of say in the look of the yard. Plus we're in an area where the neighbors have to see whatever is in my yard so I was trying to have it somewhat nice looking or even matching the house color wise. Sure...

Yeah I've been asking around, I get tossed names of people from others but half the time I've been unanswered or what they asked I may as well go order from California coops and pay in full over there haha.. (they are super pricey but also have all the bells and whistles with the feeder systems...

Actually I was chatting with the person who makes those, they take down old sheds and bards and reuse what wood is still viable after sanding, washing and retreating. :D In the midst of trying to figure dimensions that I'll need for a starter group of 4-6 chickens and leaving room to rotate...

See the main issue here that I don't think people are understanding is that myself and my husband are far from the handiest of people on the planet.. heh. We're just starting to test the water with odds and ends. I really don't want to risk the safety of my chickens because I over looked...

Yeah I'm still looking around and all. I've been asking around for a while and no one in the area really does coops. My biggest worry about building my own is making sure it's sturdy and holds up. I may have scared myself by watching a fair amount of coop building videos and it looks so...
