I wish I was better at pulling pallets apart! By the time I get them semi-disassembled, I think the wood might be good for shingles . . . possibly . . . . perhaps for a doll's house. If somebody had a whim for a post-apocalyptic doll's house. Oh well. I can admire. Your's is such a great use...

Oh Man! Do you mind if I just totally copy this coop? I swear I'll name it after you or give you design credit or whatever. (I'd offer you eggs, but . . . well you know . . . . probably that won't impress you very much.) Seriously, this is just what I've been trying to put together in my head...

To aliciasimon: I'm so sorry for your loss! Of course you miss your Buttercup -- I don't know why but it always seems to hit hardest when the ones with lots of personality leave us. That's been my feeling or experience anyway. I don't think it gets easier ever. And I can empathize with...

I hope your girl is feeling better. She truly is lovely. Change can be really stressful, which is just so hard on on hens. It's lucky that she likes being held. She'll take comfort from your encouragement. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Lovely! Really Lovely! I would still have to agree with ChemicalchiCkns . . (ChemicalchiCkns?!?!?!) regarding the name ,:>) your coop looks like an Heirloom in the making, destined to pamper many generations of lucky chickens. It has the feel of a favorite spot to hang out and enjoy their happy...

Wow! Lucky Chicks! It has a very relaxing feel to it -- sort of a zen-like hip-spa sorta thing going on there. I'm also wondering: (1) where you got those cool looking nipples, and (2) how did you manage to make the screens removable? Very Nice Coop.

What a great use of space! And it looks like it would be easy to keep clean. I like the shape of the roof very much. Did you keep a running total of how much it cost you to build it? Or did I miss that somehow. Anyway, Great tractor! I'm sure your girls will love it.

Hey Aricisom, Thanks for the culinary scoop, That's great to know! As the summer wears on, zuccini sort of settles to the bottom of the veggie food chain, or pecking order, or something, so to sp eak. You almost have to feel sorry for it. Any way I saw this cool idea of a frozen veggie and...

Oh man, that is just too rich. I would also love to see the inside. Thanks so much for posting it.

I hope you can take a few deep breaths and give yourself a break. There are people within the BYC community who have been raising birds for many, many years. Some of them grew up with poultry, and you know what? Nobody has been through everything. There's just no end to the sorts of problems...

I wish I could advise on the antibiotic issue, but as long as you're going to give her a bath, and once she's cleaned up a bit, I think it would be really helpful to do an epsom salt soak for a few minutes (or however long she'll comfortably sit for it.) That would help to draw out some of the...

I was going to ask the same thing -- I don't think I've ever seen it. Would it be something PetCo would carry? Also, how do you know if your chickens have coccidia? I mean, what are the symptoms? Isn't it normal for them to occasionally have slightly loose poop? And isn't a cecal discharge...

Dear JNB and Buff Orpington 88, Thank you SO much for your responses! Fortunately, this is a fairly rural area, and melons and such are readily available. I wish I knew if zuccini was safe for chickens, EVERYbody is trying to get rid of it -- almost aggressively. As for the electrolyte...

Your coop is just wonderful. I hate to ask -- but I'm not very knowledgeable about carpentry -- what was that hinge-y, brace-y looking thing that you drew on the green background and showed adjacent to the picture of the just roofed house? I couldn't tell what it was for, or if it was absolutely...
