I consider myself a beginner when it comes to baking so I don’t have any particular recipes I have memorized haha. I do use the website allrecipes.com because they have a large variety and you can search for specific ingredients like egg
And Sketchup, you will never know how much I truly hate you!
Not to encourage you, but 16x8 could hold more than 8 birds....Well, we have finally decided on a coop design. My gosh we've been going back and forth about it for so long it was starting to feel like this:
It'll be a 16x8 hoop coop with no frills, no fancy egg-roll-out nest boxes, for example, but it'll be secure, dry, well ventilated, and I think 6-8 pullets will like it very much. We'll add frills as we go along.
Whew. Planning stage is OVER.

I used to use a couple of PVC feeders (probably 4" diameter and almost 4 or 5 feet tall) that would hold a lot of food, and about a 4 gallon metal galvinized waterer (keeps water cool- still I would keep it in shade). Then I only needed a friend to double check that everything was still full and not tipped over or flew away in a wind storm. They wouldn't even have to come over to check every single day and they would get to keep all the eggs - these were church friends so they didn't charge me but I usually paid them since it was usually teens or preteens & parents might have to drive them. I was trying to help teach the preteens some work ethic by paying them to keep them interested.
