Is that 18th century Mexican? ; )
And boxes look good...how high are you going to make the roosts?

LOL. Thanks. There will be two sets of roosts, one will be lower than the other one. Exact height, i don't know yet.

Went to Big R today, and saw the price of those pre-built coops as we walked in....$1600!!!! Holy cow. Once again I was very happy we were able to salvage a bunch of wood from a corral in our backyard. I couldn't imagine spending that much, and it was kinda small too. I give props to who builds them though, they're super cute.

Well, she'd never been called a chicken lady before. ROFL

We did some chicken evaluations today. Still got to pair down our "keep" list by 2 or 3.

Tonight was fun! We had Ribs, Cornbread and Corn. I figured that the chickens would leave us alone while we had our picnic because they usually do when they free range. Except, the Fud lady had food.... Wasn't using my head for that one. Cuckoo the biggest idiot (injury prone) in the bunch was relentless, I think because she's spent so much time with me that she's comfortable coming right up to us. We were constantly batting the chickens away until we had bones and cobs that we could throw for them. At one point in time my husband was using the paper towels like a bat. He rarely connected, but it was pretty funny looking anyway. My yard now has rib bones and corn cobs all over the place. Whee!

Proud "parental" moment... my five 2 week old (well two weeks and 2 days, but who's counting?) chicks finally went up the ramp and put themselves in the coop tonight. A little coaxing from my DW to get on the ramp and an hour of up and down up and down. Finally five in the hole ... no more nightly chicken wrangling for me. SWEET!

Both the boxes AND Beth are lovely! If ya run outta screws, let me know. I bought a tub that size and ended up using only about 20 of them, so I have a few extra.

Yeah, but BigR was having a sale here in Security today 15% off. What a savings, LOL.
