If the neighbor would mow his frickin jungle there would be fewer occurrences of things like this, but he is giving them a perfect area to live, smdhFound this slithering through the yard last weekend...not my ladies buddy
Thank you very much! I got all the metal from my work, they had to repair a building and it was all left over so they gave it to me for free and we built the coop around how much metal we had so we didn't have to buy anymore. Many things have changed since this, new piece of property, great new setup, and just recently integrated some new birds☺Wow! Very nice setup. Agreed that all that beautiful grass won't last very long with your chickens. Do you have a plan for the next step?
Was this a metal shed to chicken coop conversion? Whatever you did, I like it.
Love the log in the chicken run. Do your birds use it very much? I've been thinking about something like that for my run.
Edit: Sorry, I did not see the original posting date. Was so excited about the pictures that I failed to realize this thread has been going on for a long time with many pages of comments. It just popped up on my screen for the first time and I thought it was a new thread.

A lot was free, but we did spend about $700 on lumber and screws, then of course I had to have an auto door $, then a solar powered exhaust fan $$, then the chicken yard$, but realistically for the amount of joy my ladies (and 1 young gentleman now) bring me, it was well worth it! The money I get from the eggs I sell pays for their food, shavings, oyster shell, and what not, so they earn their keep, but I'm pretty sure they'll be in debt for life as far as their digs go I appreciate you checking out my thread, I love seeing other folks stuff and how they manage their flock, gives me ideas and insight☺Well, you certainly did a fantastic job on that coop. Very nice. And free?!!
