Hey neighbor!

I'm in Arenac county, about 1 hr north of you.

There's a few in Bay City and Midland on this forum too. A few more in the West Branch/Skidway Lake area too

hey ! thats good to know that there are some other mid michiganders here
i may need some advice about getting my birds thru the cold months.
actually i dont have any birds yet.... yet.
i got to get my coop finished, i lost some head way today, i built a frame and window and it just was not strong enough
i have coyotes pretty heavily here, and i want the coop to with stand a coyotes attack..
