I think the original statement would be more accurate if it said this:
"breeding only for standard and looks is the ruination of most all types of animals."
I agree....it is quite different. when ONLY is added.

Info about peeing on the fence line is worth more ! I'll bet I could round up donors outside the nearest liquor store, and market it to NM for predator control.This thread sure took a strange turn while I was gone. Neiman Marcus is offering a fancy hen house this Christmas for a mere......$100,000.00. That little number should be online too. http://www.neimanmarcus.com/christm...asy Gifts&pageName=Beau Coop&icid=CBF12_O5415

I bought 4, count 'em FOUR, Suncast horizontal double walled storage boxes on sale. I love these things! 1 -100 W. light bulb keeps them toasty for grow outs. The roofs also pop up for hotweather. 2 front doors too. Hubby put a poop door in one and mounted them 2' off the ground with ramps. They are about 4 1/2 feet long x 2 1/2 deep x 3' tall. I have 5 big baby 6 mos old .Orps sleeping in one, and 15- 4-6 week old babies in the other. No way you could build these for 135.00. Super easy to clean too. The other 2 are for expansion...don't tell Hubby. I stashed them in the attic !My little newbie friend just found the cutest homemade play house blue with white trim and dutch doors on Craig's list for $125.00 It has 4 windows and a shake roof. I told her to go get it. Even if she needs to modify it the materials would have cost way more! No library though but she can just get her chicks a dvd player or a Wii or something. hilarious.
How much will you pay us not to tell your Hubby?The other 2 are for expansion...don't tell Hubby. I stashed them in the attic !
Thats a great idea! Can you get us pics???I bought 4, count 'em FOUR, Suncast horizontal double walled storage boxes on sale.

Agree on Plexiglas but if you search maybe you could find a couple old refrigerators with glass shelves or the old fashion council TVs with a protective glass front.Plexiglas isn't cheap either!! At least around here a 4x8 sheet is over $120.
And yes, horse manure would probably be a lot less smelly than fermenting cow manure.
Are you hoping that if the water freezes overnight the greenhouse will thaw it? I'm wondering if there would be any value in being able to cover it at night to keep some heat in. I assume the birds want a morning drink when they get off the roost.

With proper ventilation it would not be a problem.I never keep water in a coop. Add's moisture. Moisture leads to frostbite on combs. Plus itjust makes a mess. I let me birds out early. Then the feed and drink. Never either in the coop
