    Talk me out of a Silkie, please

    i got 3 sussex buffs and 2 lil white silkies and sometimes the silkie eggs are bigger than the buff eggs. they lay regular are great as brooders and seem quite tame, they like to be stroked well mine do. your choice at the end of the day but they are no trouble and easy on the eye .

    How much would you pay for this coop? *PICS*

    my coop cost $50 in materials and 1 day to build then paint the following day. this included hinges screws etc. i think i may come to the states and start a business making coops . by the sound of things i would have no trouble selling them.

    very nice coop, its not what we would pay but what you think its worth to you. if you are good with a saw and hammer you could make one but if not then pay what you think its worth. in the UK you could pay maybe £199 for that type. as you know ready made coops are not cheap. my coop cost me £50...
