    Does anyone speak "chicken"?

    I've got 6 RRs and a Hamburg. My daughter will "sing" to them, in chickeny sounds, and when she stops singing, the Hamburg will sing back. Lordy, how do you not fall in love with these animals? The other day, my pullets were out in their mini-run, and when I went out to check on them, they...

    I will NOT become the crazy chicken lady...

    I'm right there with you. I decided on chickens back in September. Suddenly, I started seeing everything through chicken goggles.

    Possible Craigslist scam!!!

    Quote: Wow cmom...somebody's got some private info on you. You might request an updated credit report from the 3 credit reporting agencies and make sure everything is ok. You can put an alert on your credit reports for unauthorized usage and it's free for a certain amount of time with each...

    daughter keeps a headache since she gave birth 2 weeks ago

    Quote: It's possible that she didn't press the issue. I've seen some people make appointments for themselves when they need to see a doctor urgently but don't want to go. They tend to downplay the problem and accept whatever appointment they're given. Especially when they're depressed, and...

    Anyone here with concession stand experience?

    Quote: Did you see my laughing face? I was laughing at the difference in advice. Then I started a new paragraph and started my own suggestion, separate from any comment on your post. I apologize for the confusion.

    daughter keeps a headache since she gave birth 2 weeks ago

    Quote: Follow your instincts. If you feel that an ER visit is in order, then don't let her talk you out of it. Is the baby still in the hospital?

    Anyone here with concession stand experience?

    Quote: Well, that depends on where you are. Sure a County Fair is a once a year event, but, depending on where you live, there are lots of other events that need food vendors throughout the year. Here, we have numerous festivals, parades, and community events where a trailer like the OP's...

    Anyone here with concession stand experience?

    But something like little slider burgers, all beef corndogs, boiled shrimp, nachos, but nothing in huge portions. That's the exact opposite of the advice from one of our band moms who has done several food booths at band and Boy Scout events. "Ridiculously large portions" is her advice...

    aaaaaaannnnnd I have a rooster

    Sigh. My cute little EE chick has started crowing. I'm kind of sad about it, because he's a nice chicken, but I just can't keep a rooster. He has a beautiful crow.

    No more kiddie pools :(

    I see you tried Craigslist. Try posting on Freecycle too. Are you on Facebook? I've had good results begging via status updates there.

    My Pet Chicken sells a set of plans for $15. http://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog/Chicken-Coop-Plans/Pallet-Wood-Chicken-Coop-Building-Plans-p622.aspx If that's too much, maybe you can reverse engineer it from the pictures.

    science fair project ideas?

    Check the science fair rules before you get too far involved. Some don't allow "live animal" projects, and hatching eggs might fall under that category.

    Coop begun! (Just one pic)

    Great advice, thanks! This design is so simple. It'll be easy to create doors. I wanted to make the long side open up fully anyway, but Mr. Cookies talked me out of it. Armed with the advice of experienced coopers, I can get my way.

    Coop begun! (Just one pic)

    Finally! Mr. Cookies is so happy to get to use his power tools. I'm going to have to find more projects for him to do. This is based loosely on the minimal plan from the Building Chicken Coops for Dummies book. Very very loosely. Mr. Cookies already had a structure in the backyard that...

    Plants/Garden ideas for around coop...

    Quote: Japanese honeysuckle is invasive. There are species that are native to the US and not considered invasive. As you say, research the options before choosing a plant, but don't shun this beautiful plant because of one bad strain.
