Jean- Because I was focusing on the other breeds- I had not noticed that. Thanks for pointing it out. You have gorgeous Ameraucaunas. Their eggs are sooooo pretty!
Cammy, Thanks for the vote of confidence. Yes, Justin is the half I have been emailing with. Do you know anyone else who has...
Overeasyplz, Just wanted to mention I did not mean to sound put-off at all! I meant to put a smiley there so the internet would translate better ---I had never thought of it that way before she said it to me(I was thinking hatchery from the beginning)......I am not planning on breeding-anytime...
Osuman, I agree...from what I can see, things look great........Just trying to do my homework......
Overeasyplz- yes they are- but as CityChook recently pointed out to me--- *** it costs the same amount to house, keep safe, feed, and clean up after hatchery stock or heritage stock.......
I am...
They breed Light Sussex, BLRW, Blue Wheaten Ameraucaunas, and Coronation Sussex.
I know they have had some listings on eggbid.com.
I have had some correspondence with them, which has been quite positive.
I wanted to know if anyone here has experience with them, and their chicks/chickens...
PunkinPeep,
I'm so sorry you lost your little girl! You were very brave while you tried to help her - and she knows you tried. You are a wonderful Chicken Mom!
I hope your loss/ordeal a little less painful today
CityChook! Thank you so very much.......... You have made so many great points...this is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted someone like you who had done it to pick it apart, so I could see it for what it really is, and then decide if it's able to be improved upon enough-or to just forget...
This is such a great thread! To echo ThePolishPrincess.....It's soooo cool to see all the pictures.......:thumbsup
I have to ask though, as a newb....is it really that bad to get your chicks from a hatchery? Especially when you are just starting out and have no idea what you're doing...
Hey there all!
Thank you so sincerely for your feedback!
Okay, so if you go on the guys site, it's the "Large Capecodder"
He had one pic in a former post which was one of these but built double the length he has as "one" coop.
Pat- Thank you so much for the advice about the cupola...
Here is an up to date link.......

he also has one like this that is twice as long-twice as big - for bigger flocks.........
I love the way it looks, but I think I am too distracted by that to notice what any real problems might...
I should have put something in there about cost. I debated it before my above post, but thought my questions were pretty sraight forward.
I am not necessarily planning on buying this coop. I have loved ones who are carpenters and have wood shops. Construction is not much of an issue...

Here is the guys website: http://www.farmnyard.com/
He's probably a member for all I know
What do you guys think of this design?
I kind of like the double long one on the CL post for more than 6 hens....... I am planning on free...
Welcome to BYC -- from Maine! you will have so much fun researching everything you need here! Like others have said, MyPetChicken is a great resource! There are lots of choices between breeders, hatcheries, and local chicken swaps, and poultry shows to help get you started! I don't have any...
