Shewww.....with this cold I'm glad I canceled my order of chicks for the fist week in February and decided to wait until April. If this weather keeps up, I don't think the chicks would survive the trip! I have decided to buy locally from Crazy Chicken Ranch (out of Capac, MI) in April. She...- MIchickens

So…..procrastination was my downfall with my chicken coop. I had raised my 16’ X 12’ shed 1 ½ feet off the ground (by myself and with a 3.5 ton car jack) but did not get it completely level. Now I’m paying for it while working on my coop. I cannot finish anything else until I get the shed...- MIchickens

I hope everybody is ok this morning. I lost power around 7:00pm last night and it's still not on. On the way to the Base there were downed trees everwhere. I think i'm going to leave early just to keep an eye on my sump pump. Take care all and have a safe day!- MIchickens

I wish you the best Opa. Hopefully when they put you out you can dream of the hunt of a lifetime. My bretheren and I will shoot off a round in honor of you at noon tomorrow.- MIchickens

Opa.....I wish you the best on a speedy recovery! The possibility of missing opening day must be torture. You seem like a tough guy....I'm sure you'll pull through with flying colors!- MIchickens

It's not like the fan one(which I think your talking about)...I believe it's just a passive method of releasing heat. I didn't think of the fan one though....good idea...might have to add one or two of those.....thanks!- MIchickens

Hey Opa...or anybody else...you know those round roof vents you see that are about 12 inches across.....I had a thought.....what if I turned those upside down and mounted them to the ceiling of my coop for ventilation? Does my theory have any validity?- MIchickens

I put lights and plugs in the coop today....just before it started to .....ummm...rain fluffy cold cotton. Good thing I won't get chicks until spring. But at least I can work on the coop when I get home from work and it's dark out.- MIchickens

I finally started the coop today. I still need a couple windows to put in there. Hopefully this will be a HI-TECH coop when I get done with it. Have any of you had any luck with those water nipple drinkers? I have some great ideas for them but I'm just not sure if they are worth the effort...- MIchickens

I am/was an electrician before I went into the military (I’m still a member of I.B.E.W. Local 58). I would suggest running a 12 gauge wire from the hose to the chicken coop (unless you’re running other items besides basic lighting and plugs). Voltage drop starts to occur when you get around...- MIchickens

So I added up the “necessities” for my 8’X12’ chicken coop that is going to take up half my already built shed. The grand total is $609.59. Am I going overboard? This is just the lumber, insulation, electrical, and misc items. That total doesn’t even have the outside run cost figured...- MIchickens
