    The Brick Chick House Westtexasfarmboys Chicken Coop

    FThe Brick Chick HouseE Here are pics of the coop I am renovating. This was built by my granddad sometime in the 1940s, and he made the bricks by hand. I think it was actually designed to orginally BE a chicken coop, based on the shape and size, but I really have no idea of original intent...

    rooster problem

    A rooster does what a rooster does. It' really not fair to him to be boxed up, so I would either give him away or, like the above post, camp freezer.

    !mystery!

    I have the same thing...I thought it MUST be a snake. I finally figured out those rascals were eating their eggs. I've tried everything suggested, to no avail. But as someone above said, they will eat it ALL with no trace, very fast. I made roll away nest boxes and try to go out early, but I...

    DG/F, God love her, wears too much lipstick and try as I might, she says she looks "washed out" without it. Stupid advertising. Y'all girls, seriously, look marvelous in your own God-given beauty. One guys opinion.
