Getting Expensive!!!!

[Mikeeeeeeeeee]

OK..........I build a nice tractor ( 4x8 with a condo top).

I scrounge up most of the lumber from the pile that was left over from building our house.
I use the metal roofing that was left over from the carport I added on.
I fill it with nice banties.

I want some standards, so I build a small tractor (3x5) to actually use as a brooder/grow up deal, and I put 5 RIRs in it. Now they are 4 weeks old and in a week or so will need more room.

So, I must build another tractor, or just go ahead and build the dream coop. ( big nice coop that I can stand up in, with two sides for different breeds, and two runs)

I have no lumber left from the pile.
I have no roofing left either.
ANd now I'm about to put some eggs in the incubator I bought for 15 dollars.

So.........I leave the choice to my fellow BYCers.

1. Scrounge and build a tractor ( knowing that in a month or so I will have to build another tractor for the birds in the bator)

2. Go ahead and build the dream coop and twin runs.

You better go for the dream coop, it will be for the best!!

well, if your budget says yes I'd go ahead and built the dreamer....

if you dont build the dream coop now,,,, i bet you will next year

Cheaper in the long run to just go ahead with the dream coop. Once it's built, you can always sell the tractors to recoop some of your money.

Bite the bullet and build the dream coop.

It will be cheaper in the long run.
