?Was it filled with dirt?

They were dirty, that’s for sure!

Nope. No sodium. Just hamburger, onions and tomato paste. They loved it.

Onions aren't good for them

What do you guys think of this for my flock of ten? It’s expensive amd on the small size compared to what they are used to, but looks nicely made. The assembly video really shows the size. It would be quick smd easy, assuming we could get it shipped in time.

I ate two “sloppy Alex” sandwiches and it didn’t bother me.

I thought it was rather pricey $$$ but I’m a mizer with money !

I know. Very pricy, which is why I am hesitant. I think a nice wood shed could work, but we’d have to install windows and ventilation. Hubby is a contractor and has the skill to build something beautiful. But he doesn’t want to and something quick, as long as it’s big enough and nice enough, would alleviate some moving stress.

Well, there was this jacuzzi that me and three ladies shared, one evening (long ago)

I hope those ladies were feathered

I hope the wood is quality. These coops look lovely then I found that they splinter and break

Phyllis Explores Everywhere

Once she was allowed out Phyllis took off and started exploring everywhere. While the others mainly stayed around the coop, Phyllis went everywhere she could.

She blazed a trail right through her old friends.

Sydney did feel the need to reassert her dominance. This looks worse than Phyllis seemed to take it.

Sydney needs a good telling off, she's mean

Do you think it’s big enough for ten chickens? They currently live in a coop that is 5x5 on one level, 3x5 on the second level, and the 3x5 area under the second level is enclosed with hardware cloth and is really part of the coop, even though it’s outside. So even when they’re locked up, which is only for sleep, they have about 55 square feet. In this new set up, they’d have about 48 square feet, all on one level. It might be nice and cozy, though. As long as the ventilation is adequate, it might work.
