    What is this little fellow?

    This is Burt, he's about 3 1/2 weeks old. When he was a little chick I thought he was an Australorp, but I'm a chicken rookie and now that he's feathering out a little I'm not so sure. These are just pics I had on hand, if more detailed pics are needed I can take more. Thanks!

    Quote: Thanks so much! For never building anything from scratch before, I think we did just fine! The coop itself is 6X6. It was made from 2 different types of plywood that we got leftover from building sites. The floor and the nesting box area are made of that smoother thicker plywood and...

    Newbie coop finished, but with nesting box questions...

    Well, it's pretty much finished. But I need to know if my nesting box set up will work. Do I need to make more of a cut-out to make it easier for them to hop in? And I'm guessing straw is the preferred nesting material? They are standard size Brahmas.

    Newbie Coop...Now 90% complete! Yeah!

    Okay, We added the roofing tar paper to the walls and added the shakes. We cut all the shakes from pallets we got for free. Very time consuming, but I am happy with the effect and not to mention the money not spent! All that is left is a roosting area and more landscaping. Excuse the mess...

    Thanks everybody for your replies! The little metal things on the post are ladies holding bowls of fruit (but they look like eggs to me!) I just had them laying around (no pun intended) so I stuck them up there. Someone had posted something about the plywood...will it be okay with the shakes...
