Helpful hints for building coops

[CapricornFarm]

I went to Southern States today and got 4 bags of Sportbird flight developer. The turkeys love it and the quail chow it down too. I hope it lasts a while.

I finally got the plywood on the wall of my chicken coop, except the last piece, it was just getting too dark.

So many great tips to read up on here! .. Started this really fun project a few weeks ago.. Made with pallets, scrap wood, and materials handy around the house/shed... ...... I'm over it! SOMEBODY COME FINISH THIS THING!.. My saw keeps messing up.. Can't get a door to fasten quite right... Still toying with ideas to roof it.. I feel like it needs more support/legs.. I'm just an amateur with a dream

randi, hang in there. it is looking good..
remember , if you cut it off twice and it is still too short, start over..
I have often made the mistake of getting the fraction right on, but missing the inches by a few..
beautiful morning here is wisc. Annie had the AC on all night. I usually turn it off after letting it run for 15 minutes. but I didn't feel like arguing about it..
she is making noises like she is going shopping this morning. I don't want to go.
we will see who wins this one..
I can smell the coffee. later..
