Arizona Chickens

[Fuzzybird]

My favorite design technique!!! My coops have become a AZ thread melting pot....a little Gallo, a little Mikey. some Mama Chris, some Fuzzybird....etc. Next project is to CASE John's POO BOX idea. I see great purpose in it!! One of my smaller coops is a pain, difficult to manuever a rake in there and it seems that no matter where I put the food trough it winds up with poo in it. I am thinking I can tuck it under the poo box and it will stay nice and clean. Scooping out a box has to be easier than raking and sifting sand in a tiny area.

AND- I really like Mikey's term CASE......gonna steal it too!!!

ME?? I am flattered!

Yes YOU!! Totally love your set up!! I have been making coops like we had in Oklahoma when I was a kid.....Chicken houses with enclosed yards. Seeing your huge open air coop was a real eye opener. It is just so suitable for Desert climate....coop and run under one roof...very open and airy with plenty of shelter and shade. It's perfect!! You will have to post pics of your set up.

HOA's = Communist dictatorship (avoid them at all cost!)

LOL! I almost agree, but we have two houses on the street now who are running a mechanics shop out of them. Almost makes we wish we had an HOA. Almost.

2 of my coops are getting murals. I copied your wide window sills. The little ones love to sit in the windows and look out. I am afraid mine will never be as pristine as yours.....still working on poopless chickens!!

LOL! At least you know they are honestly working hard for a living =) My dad was one of those who worked as a mechanic out of our garage. He couldn't afford to get a "shop" in town to do his work. Is it the prettiest? Nope. It is a sign of the struggle Americans are faced with in terms of income and jobs. My heart goes out to them. Freedom over dictatorship

Can't wait to see pictures of the murals. My window sills do get dusty for sure. A good wash down every now and again makes them look good as new.
