Quote: You should see me barking at tweety when she comes up with an *idea*. That thread this week where the gal asked everyone to show pictures of their coops was interesting. So many styles and approaches. Then I think about building something every so beautiful only to have the birds poop...

Quote: Nothing yet. Like I say - the big problem at the moment is my workload. Projects are coming out of the woodwork and I keep praying that a suitable shed turns up on Craigslist that I can just go pick up. I have 2 web projects to wrap up and I can get back outside and make some...

Quote: Not really, at least none that I am aware of.

Quote: Very clever on a limited budget. What are the walls made from?

Quote: Those prices seem comparable to what I am seeing around here. That salt box style is so cool - I really like it.

Quote: Arghhh! Shreek! I don't think so. They are our buddies! How could you sell family members? Hey, a motivating factor of our getting chickens is that the neighbor has some and we have been helping care for them. They just started laying this week - woo hoo! I was in their coop...

Quote: I have the building skills - and the tools. It's really a matter of time Mac, and to an extent the cash. I've been ignoring client work (I do web development) as much as possible all summer and it's catching up with me. If I don't get some projects done before long, I'll have a...

Quote: No need to appologize. The whole idea of the thread is to kick around ideas, but ya, I've been looking at the shed and while it's still a possibility - I'm looking at alternatives. I don't know if I'm going to allow the birds to free range. We are on an unfenced acre in an area where...

Quote: I couldn't agree more. Sounds like a real hassle.

Quote: I thought you wanted something that YOU could get insied and clean, I would think 6 foot would be the short side, but if you want to get in on hand and knees, or just rake/hoe it to clean it out you could definatly get away with a 5 ft on one side and 3 feet on other, and still have...

Quote: Quote: Common to both of your replies, it seems that you are suggesting a tall structure. If I were going to conserve materials and time by building something that doesn't accomodate a large door, instead simply hinging an access panel for cleaning, etc.? Is there a rule of thumb as...

Quote: Gosh - I read that first line and thought I was gonna get yelled at! lol

I feel like a broken record, as I have knocked around this topic in other posts, but here I go again. Now that the Buckaroo coop is not going to happen, I need to come up with a solution for the coming winter. Sigh... I have made my way through most of the old posts and bookmarked several...
