and build away you will meg!!! if mikey doesn't take all the pens(which i completely understand if you do mikey, but i have way more hennypennys in my yard than your six

) i would like to see if i can get a smallish section for a quarrantine area, like we spoke of yesterday. that way my laundry room can stop smelling of hens and roos and the like

rest assured meg, your pretty gals are fine, Lovey, Puffy face and Fanny went out into the yard this morning and the SILKIE tried to beat them up

wish i had my camera. i have a feeling once the kids see them this afternoon, Fanny will be going nowhere. I'll just have the Gosselin 6 of ameraucanas. Meg, what about your friend Anne? would she like your other 4?

I will check with Anne later today.

By the way, I will be deconstructing the pens later today so there won't be much work involved. I just have to get with Suze on Tempest and Dora first. Suze? You out there?

Here, but heading to church in a couple of minutes. Give me a call this afternoon.

Done deal Mikey. Want to help deconstruct? I need to call about the other chookies first tho'.

I'm going next door to lay about 300 sq/ft of 16 x 16 ceramic tile (YUCK!) Give me a ring when you're ready (preferably in the afternoon sometime) and let's see if we can coordinate with Noel. I'll make a big loop with Big Blue (Truck) and try to get it done in one swell foop.

Not that I don't trust the internet but I'll PM you my Ph if you don't have it.

You bet, please excuse the previous call. Saturday is my Shabbat sometimes I forget.

There isn't an appropriate smiley for my response.

I have been accused of being relentless.

Nope - my house...

I'd like to put the coop/run against the house and was wondering if the chickies will damage the siding or be damaged by it.

Silly internet typing thing!

It'll get messy, for sure. If it were me I would put a couple more coats of paint of it previous to construction, and silicone caulk. The idea being to be able to clean it without damaging it, and to be able to move it later without it being obvious afterwards.

Mikey- if Tammy takes panels up to Pastry Mama, could she bring back a Buttercup for me?

Maybe put a layer of screening between the house and the coop? Something like metal or fiberglass insect screening? Could do tarp, but that would be kind of unattractive. Or maybe canvas tarp and paint a backdrop on it of the birds running through a meadow of tall gass and wildflowers? With a few hens scratching and finding tasty morsels?

Howdy... Looks like this AZ chicken post is from 2008

Are there any Mesa, AZ chicken people for me to chat with?
