Ha! I'm sure he'll be flattered to hear that. Loves that stuff... I can't stand it, personally, but he's not much into Star Trek, so I guess we all have our things.


We're going to put a support under the perches to make them more sturdy; BF thought ripping them out again to replace them would affect the strength of the boards they're attached to too much.... Blah.

We've got $50 saved up for the wire and stuff, but we've hit another snag.... My BF's parents home was auctioned off without their knowledge.

We were going to put the coop in the field behind their yard (with the farmer's permission), but obviously that won't work now.

Project on hold until a new location can be found.
