I got nothing Amberjem. I have the same dilema. Poop board/no poop board? I can't decide that even.

LOL I am sorry I didn't mean it to be mean... I am not a smoker. Believe me I would never criticize anyone's "place" keeping.... I am totally horrible.

Here is what my kitchen looked like last time I was in there. There is counter top but six linear feet of it at best divided by the sink


living room with sliding door front entry

parrot painting on the sliding door to the green house room. The cat trees are left from when I had cats.... those are getting either tossed or given to my neighbor Tom he has several cats. The screen door is on the only bedroom in the house. Mule, my ex roommate, brought her four cats with her when she moved in and didnt want her cats to mingle with mine.... I am sooo glad shes gone.


green house room View of my existing chicken coop. when I moved in that vertical wall was all plate glass that had been painted white... NO view at all. the roof was plexiglass and falling in. So I had the roof rebuilt as well as replaced the glass wall with an almost twelve foot opening for french doors to be installed later.... Too expensive so I am thinking of doing a roll up garage door. Mule had my aviary wire fastened to the chainlink because the birds were getting in... Her cats killed a bird ..... Oh the horror.... sooo glad shes gone.


view out my front door.... imagine the big rock with a goat on top.... then ontop of the patio then the hole in the patio roof where same goat fell through landing on the hammock and the hole through the hammock and the goat Blazing exit across the front yard through the front gate.


I am sharing these because they are kind of a dark secret.... I am not nor will I ever be a good house keeper... I am 100 percent better than I was... My last house when they cleaned it out so I could move here we filled three 40 foot Garbage containers.

I dont have living room furniture with the exception of my chair. I gave the leather couch away to my Mule who finally left. I was on the road to recovering from being a hoarder when i invited her to come live with me. Unfortunately I didnt know she was a hoarder as well. I cant blame her for the mess. But she did live there longer than I did. I havent lived in my house for almost nine years now.

When I go home finally it will be to reclaim and clean and toss.... I wont be able to do much more than maybe a ten by ten space at a time... But it will be a start.

I am hoping to put togehter a before and after set of pix.

ok guys good day I was wondering if you guys can help me trouble shoot..here is the issue I want to rearrange the perches in my henhouse.. I want to install a ladder type roosting bar set..........the thing is I was thinking of having a poop board above the chicks chicken house door...the top roost will be from that wall torwards the nest boxes and stopping just above the awning board in the nest boxes.......so if I do the ladder with 12/15 inch spread.....down I can have about 4 , 4 foot roosts laddering down.....that would be 12/15 inchs from ceiling for first pirch...might be more roosts could do but figured bout four...anyways I need to figure out what would be best for the ledger poop board which could get probly two or three of the pirchs if I do it above the chickens chickenhouse door... I have cleanout doors on either side of the henhouse they open completely..  so I can still simply scrape into the wheel barrow when cleaning off the poop board... should I just forgo the whole poop board idea or ..pls help lol 

Post a pic jem, I'm very visual.

 

[Amberjem]

where the low point of the roost ladder would end at just above the nest box awning

the poop board somewhere above this chickenhouse chicken door

just type of roost I want to install with some kind of poop board

side where the top of the roost ladder would go with the poop board under it maybe ?

and please excuse mess of coop I removed all the bedding and just managed to stop my son before he put more bedding in as he was trying to help me...but wanted it empty for when did the work

Wyandotte was still of the nest (just checked on her).. The first broody (Orpington, black) was very sweet!

violet is a wyandottee also she was who went broody looks like she is getting over it

 

[hennible]

Jem, can you doodle me the floor plan?

 

[BriardChickens]

Are they typically easily broody? I figured with her: our weather has been getting warmer, so maybe they are getting tricked into thinking its spring?

from my understanding yes can be broody
