Wow, emergency surgery. That's too much. I fell and broke my ankle in December and had emergency surgery, as well. Glad that all is working out for you and that you were able to get help on your project. I guess we were destined to be "chicken farmers".........

Okay. Here we are, into week 8 tomorrow. We began this project on April 22nd and tomorrow will be the 8 week mark. Hooray!!! We nearly can't stand one another any longer when working on the coop/run. Thank God it is finished (except for some trim on the hardware cloth) and my husband says he...

Thanks for the reassurance. You really took on a lot, with a house remodel???? What were you thinking???? Honestly, I hope that all works out for you with both projects. Been there, done that. I look at life as an ADVENTURE, so each and everything I do while I'm living my life is a blessing. The...

I suppose you're right...... no more vacations for us! Today is like a "mini-vacation" because it's raining off and on and we are taking the day off from working on the coop. It feels GREAT! Some of the "little ones" are out in their temporary pen which is covered with plastic and they seem...

Well, if we hadn't have gone through a remodel on our home several years ago......... we probably would have divorced over this chicken coop. It's amazing how we differ on ideas and plans for how things are supposed to come together. Good luck to anyone, and I do mean it, who is venturing into...

Thanks for the idea to contact "sittercity.com". I will look into it. Right now, we are just working, working, working on the coop and encountering new situations daily.... go figure. But, it's coming along and we hope to have the little ones inside in a few more days. It's getting hotter here...

You are right. We are already "house bound" because of 2 horses and 2 cats, so I suppose vacations are out. At least we live in a beautiful area and enjoy nature in our own backyard that many folks drive for hours to obtain. We are only 1 hour from the Mendocino coast, so we are able to make day...

Yes, this is our coop in the building process. Today it is primed and tomorrow I will put the first coat of paint on it. Although it has been stressful for us, it is coming along and it is rewarding at the end of the day to see the progress. I just think it is taking longer than we had figured...

Hey to everyone out there who purchased baby chicks for the first time in their lives this year. I am one of you (we). After looking over several coop designs here on BYC, we decided to build our own coop (after ordering a variety of 25 baby chicks from Ideal Poultry). This has been a...
