Thanks, yeah we think so too. The really old wood is actually sometimes better than the new stuff!

Emys is right, it doesn't have to fancy unless you want it to be, but it helps you get in and out and helps keep predators out. As for us, we used wood and chicken wire see link... https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=86017 It doesn't have to be perfect, most of our wood is...

There are way better coops that deserve to win than ours, but we built this coup using loads of free used wood and spent only $240 of our own money. It works for us, it may work for you. So, if you want any easy coop to build and that's study and easy to maintain, this one was super easy...

Thanks... Yes all the RIRs are 15 weeks from same brood All the BOs are 17 weeks from same brood yep, like 3 of them (BOs) were always much bigger than the rest of the BOs even when we got them at 1 day after hatching. All the RIRs seem to have always been the same size. @teeville &...
