Thank you we wanted to give it that old look and all the rock was harvested out of the hole. We dug out of the mountain to actually build the coop. We have to finish the electrical on the inside and add cameras to watch the chickens when we’re not out there.
The coop is built like a pole barn with 4x4 in the ground, 2x4 studs , 1/2” in plywood for walls , and windows ( from Amazon specifically for coops@$45) the cage area is a dog kennel we purchased we use the panels for the dog kennel. It is a 4 x 6 kennel and we made it into a 5 x 8 as we only...
I’ve been going to the mountains. We spent the last building a wall and setting up our chicken compound in our mountain home. We were living in a rental for a while from our old house. We had a bar and we built for our chickens and ducks, but as we built the mountains, we need something safer...
At my old house I didn’t have to worry so much about this because we were further in the city at my new house. Our backyard is a golf course and there are coyotes but I haven’t had them in my backyard bothering my ducks asked for the chicken coop I think I’m also going to add a camera in the...
Well we couldn’t leave them out the sounds they make help me sleep and not knowing if they are ok outside so they are outside in the morning and back in at night ( plus my wife has a baby that is her baby who she falls asleep with every night) then I put her with her sisters to sleep
I have...
We we put the babies in the coop today ( I think My wife and I are getting separation anxiety from them being out side but it’s warm here in California the next 2 weeks ( we put the light in there for them
That would s true we had 12 chickens and a rooster but time to start again we still have 2 ducks a mini pig 3 dogs 4 cats all rescues ( except the ducks and pig we raised them from babies)
Seems that way my friend had 30 chickens they actually went on his property cut his lock from his gate, got into his property and they were euthanizing his chickens when he came home there was some type of officer there as well
Here is a picture of my pallet wood coop I will be adding a 10’ long run to front ( my wife wants me to keep them in our house ) but that’s not fair to the chickens
We will be using medicated feed for them from purina it works well our original flock was never sick as we still have our ducks from the OG Breakfast Club
Well gang it’s been 7 years since we last had chickens as California destroyed all the birds for new castle disease ( they killed all of them yet gave you a credit for replacing the chickens but it wasn’t valid) so now we will start again with a coop made 100% from pallets and 5 new babies to...
