Think we are going to find an old wood one and try it out.

Thanks to all, this is a very informative thread. I am still in the process of reading all of it, but would like to ask a question while I learn. Our son is 12 and is in the 4-H for the first time,and I want to get some chickens as well. Anyway, we can both agree on the Buckeyes as a good breed...
