Just read the complete thread. Gosh, I have been waiting for my first egg from our new chickies. Now after reading poor Rosie`s story, I`m not sure I want my chickies to lay eggs. I wish it was daylight so that I could check all their bottoms. I`ll be waiting to see how Rosie and you are in the...
The 2 hens pictured are about 6 months old according to the seller. We moved the coop to the other side of the house (inside our backyard fence), plus put a 20ft x20ft chain link run up for them. The fence is 6ft tall. We have coyotes running in the field next to us nearly every night so we felt...
Very, Very Nice! No, Super Super nice! You should be real proud. Thats an awesome job. I`m sure your chickies love it. I really like the ideas that you put into the outside ground and roof.

Wow Alaska! Haven`t been there, yet. Our plan is to take 3 months and ride our motorcycles there, as soon as we are both retired. A friend made the trip on his bike a couple of years ago and loved it. The 4x8 we have built (still needs trim and paint) is phase 1. As time allows, we plan...

I`d love to post some pics but it won`t allow me to right now. Someone said that I may be able to, once I have posted enough times. Thank you for the welcome, and yes this is a great forum.
Still can`t post pictures. Must be doing something wrong. To much to do to keep trying. Anyway its pretty much the same as most 4x8 coops. And everyone pretty much knows what Black copper marans look like. Can`t wait till they start laying those brown eggs.
Really happy to have found this thread. We only have finishing touches left to complete phase 1 of our coop, so we purchased 6 Black Copper Morans yesterday. At least thats what the seller told us they are. He said they are pullets all hatched within 2 months of each other. The forum isn`t...
Hi everyone. We are in Daleville AL. Just about finished our first coop, using ideas obtained from all your posts. Thank you! We picked up our first 6 chickens yesterday. Woohoo! So excited.

Hi in Italy, I love your country. While living in Europe, I took my 3 boys (now 32, 28 and 25) on a 2 week vacation to Italy every year when they were children. We always enjoyed the people and the sights. I would love to post some pictures of our coop and hens for you, but after...
Hi everyone! First I`d like to say "Wow, what a great forum". I`m Susan and my hubby is Bo. We live in Daleville AL. My brother suggested this forum, when I told him that we wanted to keep a few laying hens. During our vacation in England last month we ate lots of fresh eggs. On returning to the...
Congrats on the good luck! I`m sure you`ll have as much fun building it, as we had. We started our 4x8 last Friday and put our first six chickens in it today. I`m so excited.
