Hi All, I sure hope everyone has been surviving the weather. I think of how cold I am and wonder how everyone's chickens are doing. I haven't been keeping up with the reading so I don't know if there were many chickens that moved into garages! Although I think it would be fun and I love pets...

Hmmm. where is Irvington? :)

facinating!

Mandy, thanks for your long post! It was very helpful! I guess I am surprised that something would survive a bleach bath but I guess nooks and crannies would be a problem. Others? What are your thoughts on used? The used coop is only a year old I can't remember if it was painted inside.

WOW! Thanks for posting that coop! I sent an email hoping it was still availble but haven't heard back yet. I'll keep watching craigslist! Funny--I did email the people I knew in the neighborhood where I saw the chicken resting and then crossing the road. I explained that I wanted to talk to...

I am a "wanna be" backyard chicken farmer in West Lafayette. I have been reading and dreaming. I saw this book recommended and I bought it. It is my life! I am in the drawing stages of a coop for spring. I am thoroughly enjoying it and wish I were reading it slower. The illustrations really add...
