Actually a mix of both I think.

My supplier just called......my red vinyl siding will be delivered tomorrow!

Looks like the outside will be completely down (except those pesky upper windows) sooner than I expected.


As a side note:

The cost of this henhouse is gonna be around 12-15 hundred. More than I anticipated when I started, but is gonna be worth it. Not only for the hens, but it will make an attractive addition to my farm.

A lot can be said for eye appeal. DW requires that all outbuildings here are barn red. I can comply with that.

Your chickens are going to love that place.

Or Vicki, can he pay for this thing with eggs?

Hmm… I love figures. Let’s work this thing out;

Let’s assume;
$1500.00 cost (free labor?)
25 Hens
325 Eggs a Year per Hen
$3.50 / Dozen

If Steve doesn’t eat any, (or drop ‘em!)
That’s 8125 eggs a year (Wow!)
Or 677 Dozen (Ok Steve, to make this work out, you need to drop ONE egg this year…)
677 Dozen a year at $3.50 is that $2369.50 / year
Steve could pay for a $1500 building in about 7 ½ months.

Think your building will last that long? I'll bet it will... (ROTFLOL!)

Enjoying the posts.

Sure, for the right amount of chicken scratch!
or a few chickens... I just have to convince my DW and 4 boys that meat chickens will be just as fun as hens. Ok, maybe I have to convince myself too...
