    Concrete (Cinder Block) Coop - Can it be done?

    There are still alot of those houses in my area! I remember them well. The size of these blocks are 8x8x16, so they're alot taller, I wouldn't have to cut windows because I can turn them on their sides. and for the door, I can buy a half- block to make that entrance work. I do have a...

    Concrete (Cinder Block) Coop - Can it be done?

    The blocks are 16 x 8 x 8 so i can flip them eitther way. It's a valid point about the rodents. I'm 3 miles from downtown new orleans, so coyotes aren't a problem, but rodents might be. The run is going to be completely closed in, including the roof. I could make the first 2 or so layers...

    Concrete (Cinder Block) Coop - Can it be done?

    Those are GREAT ideas and really have me motivated! I can't wait to see what I can do! And thanks for mentioning the leveling. I may just get a load of sand. My dirt is really hard packed, so I'm going to check out that area. When I mentioned adhesive, I was thinking Liquid Nail. And maybe...

    Concrete (Cinder Block) Coop - Can it be done?

    yeah, I'm not sure either.. The run will be secure so I'm not overly concerned with the coop being a fortress. But time will tell. It's an idea. I hate to waste the blocks but if i can make it happen, I will. ugh... my lack of ideas are killing me

    Concrete (Cinder Block) Coop - Can it be done?

    Hi - I'm inheriting a load of about 100 cinder blocks. And I was thinking... Can these be used to build a coop? Using an industrial adhesive to hold the blocks together. I would used them for Walls only. Securing doors and windows, and adding a roof, can this be done? I've always thought...

    Rookie Coop Building Mistakes?

    Scott, The coop will be secure, very secure.. I just wonder abou the run. I'm in a residential neighborhood so I don't have the country predators that I normally would have to worry about. And me nor my neighbors have ever seen a raccoon. Do oppossums or armadillos pose any type of...

    Rookie Coop Building Mistakes?

    I have a question and I'm trying to get a general idea of what to do: Should i cover my run? It will be 9 x 15 and directly under an Oak and a Sycamore tree. I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats and they wont' bother the chicks. The Run will have 6 foot high sides. There aren't any...

    "Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

    I'm on the Westbank of New Orleans. I had 14 chickens before Katrina.. Now, 6 months after buying my house in Old Gretna, I'm ready for my chickens. I drive to Dallas a few times a year, so anyone in the middle of the state is good too! Is there anyone near me to talk chicken talk or help...
