Haha! I thought it was funny too! Maybe bad luck though because I'm 99% sure she's a boy... :( I'll have to give him backk!! :'( She has some wierd cross with EE? No one really knows..... EE and ahh mysteryy?!?
Ya I think I'm going to support my run with some polls and sturdy it up, maybe double it, well I really don't know... There is bird netting over the top which I don't think does too much good... and yes I plan on building an extended run like yours! And sorry but what material did you use that's...
Thankyou soo muchh!! This helped me a lot! What would I use rather than chicken wire? I'm sorry I'm a pretty new chicken owner but I'm finding my way! Thankyou again and I'm sure your chicken will be in heaven when they move in their new home!! Good luck with the rest of the building!
Wow! OK Well replacing the window was good idea! I think I'll od that to help with ventilation! Did you put wire on the bottom of your coop? Mine is soo hard to clean out on the bottom with it on there! And it was $400 for all the new designs, not including the coop yes? Sorry for all the...
Ok so thanks for the reply!! And ugh I hate when the pics don't go through! Just post them again if you get the chance!!! Was the cost of your project a lot??!! I'm starting to HATEEE this coop now too! I wish I just started with a nice custom made one!!!! This is very frustrating.... it sounds...

Ok thanks and ya I know!! I think I will make some of those frames so I can plant things for them to peck at! I have 2 EEs, 1 BR, 1 Red Star, and 1 Black Star! Could I put another sort of small coop in there or no? I'm not sure what to do... I don't know if there's a way to really make the coop...
Well the weather Is just sort of always hot here but I guess I need a bigger coop then? A bigger coop or a bigger enclosure? I don't know how to make this much bigger.. it's in a garden bed!
I now have 2 pullets living in this space and have 3 chicks still inside. This coop was meant for 4 hens and we built this enclosure around it. It has netting on the top, a wood door with latches, a coop, and about 10 by 9 feet of space without the coop. Is this enough space for all 5 of my...
