    Thanks for the replies. Wow. Now comes the next problem. I may try to post a couple of pictures before I take the next step. We can't have roo's in the city. Thanks again!

    Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

    Is my Lacy...a Larry??? We have two BLRW's that are 7 weeks old. They, along with the other chicks, were raised by us from day old chicks. We had noticed that one of them has a much more pronounced comb than the other and is also starting to develop small waddles. During the past week she...

    That sure looks good. My chicks were scared of the internal ramp at first. When they started exploring it they would only walk on the sides, then it was this squatted walk/crawl...now they run all over it. It could be the visual thing of not having something under them. Great pictures!

    Thanks. That was my thinking when we were designing the coop. It seems like a much more maintenance free way to build a ramp. A local person told me it would be a hazard and their feet/toes would get caught in the mesh. Personally, I don't see it. So far the chicks have not had any problems...

    Excellent point. Swelling will probably not cause any problems as it is sort of a loose fit. Since we painted it, the parts sort of stick together a little...but a little talcum powder should fix that. Should things warp...that will be another story! I guess time will tell. Thanks.

    Thanks micky328. Chicksbunsdog, the side of the coop only weighs 31 pounds. So it's not too hard to remove or carry. My wife can handle it with no problem. One of the criteria was that everything be lightweight. And considering...I believe it is. If you will notice how I was holding it...

    Thanks bucky52. I have already spent several hours reading the Forum this morning. The Poop Board/PDZ thread has been great. I may have to make an adjustment to the new coop!

    Hello, My name is Travis from Mobile, AL. I have been lurking on this site for a while, but finally joined. We currently have five 4 week old chicks. A couple of days ago we transferred them to their new home, the CoopDeVille. I thought our name was unique until I started looking closer. Oh...
