thank you. i am so thrilled!

I appreciate hearing that. We are supposed to be zero for highs this weekend and 16 below for evening lows. I was a little worried until i read your post. It's my first year with these peepers. Thank you.

Thank you so much. I loved seeing everyone's entries and reading the comments. I added a roof to my run, and now I wait until my next inspiration for a summer upgrade. Congrats winners!

Thank you. I love the roof, too. The overhangs really make a difference in shading the coop and keeping it cool.

Someone asked why I limed the walls... I limed the walls because I read how insects can not lay eggs on the limed walls because it is too alkaline, so it really cuts down on nasty, irritating bugs in the coop. And it looks nice, too! I will pass on the requests to Sonny, Connie and Allen... ha...

CBabs, I spent an additional $965 on lumber for the coop and run. That is for the 2x4s, 2x6s, 1x12s for the eaves to be closed up, 2x12s for the steps/stringers, 2x2s to make the windows, plywood for the floor and poop boards, osb for the outside walls and roof, caulk, drip edge plus some of the...

Oh, and THANK YOU for the nice compliments!

Yes, unfortunately, I lost a RIR at about 5 weeks. I think she got piled on in the night. Sad, but I'm happy she is the only loss.

I have a question about the coop submissions. I think I followed the directions correctly, but my submission says it is under Member Pages, and I see others are under Coop Designs. My page has something like 128 views (probably mostly mine...LOL), but others have thousands of views. That is why...

punk00... wow...what nice comments. Thank you so much! I'm really enjoying this chicken thing...a thousand times more than I ever thought I would. They make me laugh every day. Incorporating the chicks only door into the people door is a great idea. That could be so darned cute! I'm hoping all...

Mouse Proof Coop and Run... I couldn't see how to post a comment under your coop entry. It looks like it was well thought out and good protection to your girls! I'm going to try wrapping my run this winter. That is a great idea. I wouldn't be able to see them from my house, if i wrap the north...

Thank you, Brookliner. I appreciate the kind words. Yeah, chicken math...I'm already in trouble... and I thought algebra was bad!

I'm IN! Here is the link to my page. I might find more to add before the end of your contest, who knows! I loved being able to share my thoughts and experience. Love your site and fb page! https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/sonnyside-up

Gosh, thank you! I'm not finished yet with my post yet, but I didn't see how to save until it was finished.I appreciate your thoughtful comment.

Medicated or non-medicated starter? I bought non-medicated, now I am second guessing myself. My chicks come on Monday, so I do have time to change. I am either getting 12 or 16 chicks...I will know when I get there. They weren't sure of if all were available.
