    Why are coops built so stout?

    Quote: Thanks. No, not unusually large. I have always bought large eggs so that is the size I am referring to. I will look into the breeds ytou mentioned. Thanks.

    Why are coops built so stout?

    Quote: Thanks Sonya9, That was a lot to take in. I am proceeding cautiously and therefore doing a lot of reading and talking with people that own and raise chickens as well. My neighbor is doing the same thing but has a jump start on me. I am in no hurry so I will watch and learn as he...

    Aside from just enjoying life, it is my second nature to bring a smile or a chuckle to a stranger. I hope my story did that.

    Oops, I forgot to "Quote". I was writing to Puddin Fluff about the breed.

    That is a beautiful chicken as your avatar. What kind is it? We are just now getting into raising chickens and did not realize how many breeds there are.

    Secure Run at Night

    I have the same size runs. One is 8700 sq. ft. and the other is 5800 sq. ft and they are adjoining in an “L” shape configuration. Rather than to enclose the entire run I elected to build a 10 X 10 tractor with a 24 X 10 enclosed run (the 10 X 10 coop sits over the 24 X 10 run) out of light gauge...

    I have three pictures in the story but they are not formatting correctly (showing on the page) I am currently attempting to capture them, put them in my album and then try to place them in the story.

    The windshield wipers were working at their maximum as I strained my eyes to negotiate the twists and curves of an old mountain road leading to a little known hatchery in the mountains of North Georgia. We were on our way to pick up our first layers for the coop I spent months designing and...

    Secure Run at Night

    Hey Conpollos, Having retired just under a year ago we moved to the country to start a mini farm to take care of us and a few other families. We are still in the process of putting all the pieces together and I have entertained many of the same questions you present here. A Pheasant Flight...

    Chicken math

    LOL! yes, n3kms, our age does seem to surface. The show was Tennessee Tuxedo with Deputy Dawg and Klondike Kat. Those were the days! A lot of my friends, and some family members, burned their brains out on LSD and Acid and can't remember the little things like that. That was a time when...

    Chicken math

    Actually, the phrase is: Sacrebleu! roughly translated it means "Oh, gosh darn it!" On the other hand, Savoir-faire describes the ability of an individual that knows how to respond appropriately to any type of situation. Back in the late fifties and early sixties Klondike Kat was always in...

    Secure Run at Night

    I just became a member last Feb and so far have no chickens. Take this into account regarding my response. To me Chickenlegs13 makes a great point regarding cost. I intend to double wrap my run with inexpensive chicken wire separated by the 2 x 4 studs. The inside wrap will be grounded while the...
