Coop is in progress, and we should be ready for chicks by September. Does anyone know of a Barnevelder breeder near Louisiana? My Pet Chicken has them listed, but, I'd prefer a breeder in our area.
Thank you!
Thank you for posting this! It's hard...starting from scratch. It's nice to have something to work from...and, the base and hardware cloth is doable for me. Building a coop...not:(. Your girls are beautiful...especially on toppa the coop!!
I'd thought of wiring it to the bottom frame of the mobile coop. Or, use screws and washers to attach it on the bottom framework. I have seen photos of tractors parked
on top of a sheet of welded wire, also. I'd like an A frame one with wheels and lots of ventilation...our heat index was 107...
I'm in the same boat, wolfgirl9. GreenFrogDesigns had me but, I want a mobile coop. We have lots of bugs and lots of grass...I think 3 big girls could stay happy moving around our place daily. UrbanCoops is the best I've landed on...building from scratch and keeping 'coons and possums out...
Is an 18" apron of hardware wire a good option around a mobile coop for keeping raccoons and possums out? I've thought of attaching a sheet of this to the entire bottom, but, want the birds to be able to forage. Would attaching a sheet of welded livestock wire plus a hardware cloth apron be even...
