    who knows the best place to get laying chickens around the DFW area? my coop is almost done and i'll be looking for some layers to start with, then get some chickens once we get everything up and running and our soon to be baby boy gets a bit older.

    I've put tuna inside of a trap trying to catch a cat and caught a opossum instead. ETA: quoted the wrong post...updated.

    good catch on the opossum! I caught one a few weeks ago while trying to trap a cat that was stuck under the house.

    New dog kennel coop in the works

    I've seen this done but did not want to cut a hole in the fence in case I want to use it for something else later, easier not to have to fix the hole.

    The kennel isn't where it will end up. It's moved that way now so I can walk all the way around for the build. Once it's complete, the back and left side will be against the fence so the nesting box and the front will have all the extra room in the coop.

    New dog kennel coop in the works

    thank you for your suggestions! i have thought about putting the coop outside and using the whole kennel for a run. the chickens should be able to utilize the full run since i raised the coop off the ground if needed. I also plan to fence in the back yard so i can let them out while we are...

    New dog kennel coop in the works

    haha, thanks for the reply! so far i have the base sitting on the blocks and one wall up. Its still not too late to unscrew the wall, lift the base, and attach 4 foot tall posts to get it off the ground just a bit more so they will have some extra room to run under. i could also throw some...

    New dog kennel coop in the works

    I thought i had my location listed under my avatar but it should be there now. I ended up putting the coop on 6 inch blocks so they cant really get under it, but it is low to the ground, it seemed like a good compromise. i took the build plan i listed and extended it so now its a 4x6 so i'll...
