I just did some sleuthing and figured it out. That is so very tragic. Was she a member of BYC? I can't believe this didn't make the news. I also follow this http://www.facebook.com/seeking.thelost.news?fref=ts page and as long as people send in the info and it's legit- she posts the info on the FB page. This is just horrible.

Karen was Chilifur on BYC.

This is very sad!

It is a sweet LITTLE town, Newcastle has a really great cheese shop and produce market back behind the old packing sheds. You could always stop by my place and talk chickens. Who knows what you might find here...IMG]https://www.backyardchickens.com/content/type/61/id/5500354/width/200/height/400[/IMG]

I'd love to get some Brabanter eggs from you. I going to Tahoe in Feb 16 and returning 2/20 .. I think, any chance you will have eggs then? I'd love to see your place, but I will have a car full of teenagers. My son is turing 18 so I am taking him and 7 friends to Tahoe for a few days. I should have my head examined. LOL

I am most likely going to Tahoe again in April so if Feb does not work out for you maybe April will work.

There are several BYC members up your way! Miss Molly is in New Castle and the Sheriff is up there too.

You all really should go out for coffee....

Hello!
My coop will be based of the Wichita Cabin Coop aswell, but will most likely be the size of The Palace(based on Wichita too), haha.  I love both those coops.  I unfortunately do not have as much experience as you when it comes to carpentry, actually pretty much none, so will be relying on help from friends and my boyfriend's family.  My biggest concern will be the fog, it makes everything very damp when it rolls in super thick, I live right next to the ocean.  My main design plans will revolve around predator protection(mainly raccoons), chicken comfort and ease of maintenance, those coops seem to cover that pretty well.  Good luck with building your coop!  Sounds like you don't need it though

That is too funny! We liked the size of The Palace, too. I just said the Wichita Cabin Coops because I know more people know about it. I think we will end up with final dimensions of 4x8' for the coop, with the attached run being 8.5x8'. It is super dry where we are so moisture isn't an issue. Even when the ground is wet from the rain we had last night, the air humidity is still only around 50%. Good luck to you, too. Remember, it is just a coop and the hens won't care if it isn't perfect.

This is not true! Hens lay eggs purely on style points of the coop. I read this in chicken vouge.

Hello redriver.  
Congratulations on the chicken issues with the city.
The breeds you hope to get may deside the insulation issue.  We do insulate ours, originally for winter cold but turns out we needed it more against the summer heat.

Thanks! I felt like I was beating my head against a wall a lot of the time, but it helped that one of my good friends was a prochicken city councilman. He actually has hens in town, and at his ranch outside of town.

Yeah, I am leaning towards not insulating at the moment. Grants Pass is a lot warmer than we are. We usually only have a week or less of triple digit weather, and nights are usually about 20-30 degrees cooler than daytime temps. Rarely gets below zero degrees.

Can't find the OP where someone asked about the missing woman and her daughter. They have been found. So sad. Wanted to make sure no one here was left hanging.

I was very saddened to hear this, I was hoping they would be found safe and sound. Though I did not have the pleasure of knowing Karen or her daughter, my thoughts are with their family and friends. So tragic.
