Arizona Chickens

I myself have been cooped up all day prep'n for school tomorrow.

Got to hang with the chicks before I left - they're tired of beans but sure loved the steak & eggs!

Whoa! You're getting your rooster decrowed?! I might actually think of keeping a rooster, if it goes well for you. How much does the procedure cost?

It's not cheap. $100

Yes, but a similar surgery on a human probably would be about $45,000.

i have 3 coops, all painted different colors, but only because that is what was left over from painting the kids' bedrooms

so my choices were yellow, blue, lavender, green. the layer coop is painted yellow and i got out some stencils and let the twins paint flowers on the outside. the growout pen(baby coop) is lavender because i used up all the yellow and the NEW FANTABULOSO SILKIE COOP is currently half white and half unpainted wood. must finish that and soon. the chicken area is on the side of my house where it cannot be seen really unless you walk over there. i like it, but if someone doesn't, they can turn around and find the door.

Have to say, the only one of my coops that is painted is the skylight coop, and that was because the bare metal frame NEEDED something to try to prevent rust. Oh, I think I dd paint the framework of the Original Coop--several years after it was built, lol, and I stained (a bright blue stain, btw) one that I built last summer.

And whom are you looking to have decrowed Rufus?

Friend? Family member?

i don't think you could paint all those coops you have out there. there would be silkie madness running willy nilly in your yard.

Lol! I build when I need more space--and itg seems like I always need it NOW! Of course, my husband often laments my many on-going projects. When I acrually finish something I get a standing ovation, or the equivalent, lol.

Dude, I'd totally pay $45,000 to have person or persons-not to be mentioned here-'decrowed'. Is that possible? Hmmmmmm...

I let home depot's oops paint decide what color our coop would be.
