Here I am and here is my little flock

[blk90s13]

Finaly got some chicks and build up a nice coop ( I may move in with them soon hehe )

I got 9 chicks from a local lady on craiglist for free then 2 made thier way out the crate I had them in the first couple of days while in the garage ( they still hanging out in my front yard but wont let me catch them )

Think 3 of them are roosters if not more here is some pics of the flock and some pics of the coop build

thats a cute coop!...yes your stuck...you will never leave here...like the TWILIGHT ZONE...your about to enter BYC ZONE...

Your design is fabulous as is the great looking chicks.

However, may I suggest that you reinforce your chicken wire with hardware cloth. Dogs and raccoons both can rip through chickenwire like it was nothing. I don't want you to lose your chickens.

Welcome to BYC where people really care about other people's flocks!

I been stuck here already for a while

but never did a introduction thread figured now that I have some thing to show off I would

Actually I am going today to the Home depot to get harder wire to put on the outside of the chicken wire i will go with a 3 foot tall garden wire its pretty heavy gauge welded wire

the design was on ebay some guy was selling it for $30 but all I needed is to see how it looked from his pictures and me and my friend who is a carpenter did it

we ended up with a 6 deep x 10 long x 8 high ( since the lumber is 8 ft long already why cut it )

a 4x6 hen house that is elevated off the ground with a under storage for feed supplies etc

didnt do the egg collection and roost yet but this weekend we should come up with something

thanks for all ur input chicken gurus

I cant wait to go out and get them eggs soon
