Thanks for the replies! Here is a full body shot of her(I think) all signs point toward pullet, but she seems to have more color and features than the rest. Maybe just the alpha?
About 4 months old now. First timer here. This one seems to look a little different from the rest, not sure I should worry if it's a rooster. I can't have them where I live. So I would love some advice thanks!!!!
Update on that, fittings cost shy of 250. But i purchased alot of fittings since in bulk it was pretty cost effective like the Elbows. i know ill be using on some home projects. I still have a ton of snap fittings and tees left over as well. So ill estimate i actually only used maybe 125-150...
@aart luckily i really dont have much to worry about here. but i may reinforce parts to be safe. For the snow i have a slip tee in the front middle and back where i will put a pipe up and across to create a A frame and use a higher strength clear plastic to still allow light in, but go down the...

I do like the ones they have there. I called last night and the prices were a bit steep on the run. coop prices were decent but i already have one. Guess i need to just buckle down and make one!! Found a good 8x10 design i liked. Just need to find the time now!
Wow what a small world!!! I live in Big Flats now. I was in Corning the last few years. a few roads back from the old hospital. I'm pretty much next door to Miniers now. :p
Hi everyone! I'm Tom from a small town in upstate NY. Got a new house with a little bit of land, built a few gardens and thought it would be nice to raise some chicks. Once raised i will be having them in a coop, with a smaller run, and also a portable larger run to keep them enclosed while I'm...
