Gallo, there is no way your château fort chicken house was cheap. My husband would murder me if I spent that much building a coop. Otherwise I would copy you.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=54950 Does anyone know roughly how much would something like this cost? I might even have the hardware cloth (assuming I can deconstruct the current chicken coop).

Oooh I squinted at the text and managed to find a line that says, "It was very affordable I think we spent about $400.00 to $475.00. I don't have the exact figures. "

Yay!

I probably spent about that much on my coop. More for the run.

I'm not really sure what they are, but yeah, Mikey, I have heard that there are. They are few and far between...and you really have to make an effort to find them...but I believe they do in fact exist.

Maybe I'll google it: "Un-chicken related activities"

I knew it! NO SUCH THING!!!

I tried as well. I made my firts ever batch of mozarella cheese. It is really good. But then I fed the whey to the chickens. There goes the un-chicken relatedness

Mikey, the control tower is welcome to come help me train my 2 year old horse. Next on the project list once I get the fall/winter garden planted.
Wait, scratch that. Horses are more expensive then chickens. You might not want her to develop the horse hobby.
Better idea-Shars has canning and baking classes for about $10.00 apiece. I have the schedule. Next canning class is Tuesday morning this week but I think they have lots of evening classes, too.

I have a bunch of really really really long 8x4 pieces of lumber. Could those somehow be made into a more useful size? 4x4? or 4x2? Or is it too hard to cut them length wise? I also have a bunch of large boards. Someone design a coop for me

Ooh, those sound great. Yes, it's possible to cut them down, with the right saw. Even if you can't cut them down you can still use them.​

So... if we move into town

who is going to help build my coop?

azpenguin and gallo are automatically volunteered. Gallo, I know where you live. azpenguin, I know where you work AND you have some of my chickens. I will make them turn on you and peck out your eyeballs if you don't help.

I've been known to help out with coop services...

Prolly should finish mine first though
