Can we build it? Yes we can... probably... kind of!

Oh no - sounds exactly like the sort of thing I do with phones (dropped my 3 month old one down the toilet last year ).

I am famous for dropping or throwing my phone

...Do you know what happens to a phone when it's flung from the top of an SUV at 55-60+ mph? ... we ended up over budget on the "coop" by about a thousand dollars.

Over budget by $1,000? Not bad. Add the overhead from raising chickens and you will be further into the hole in no time!

aren't we all

Hah! My chicken hobby will NEVER get us close to even, never mind making any kind of profit. I literally bought 10 acres FOR my chickens. They are the ONLY residents of the property... unless you count the wild turkeys and gopher turtles. Eventually we'll move there... I just keep telling myself that.

Some things are more important than the bottom budget line.

That is the cat's meow of the truth @N F C where our priorities lay

Can you share the name and address of the lab you send the egg shells to for sex testing?

Sure! It's called IQBirdTesting.com.

There are several labs that came up when I searched google, but I chose this company because they had reasonable rates ($11.99 per eggshell, but I believe it's more for feather sexing) and also because they're in Florida. Because they're so close, I can ship my eggshells with Fedex ground and they still get there next day, so that's convenient.

Very curious how accurate where they in your view ?
