I'm 66 years old. I live on a few acres in Rainey Community Mississippi. It's not exactly like living in nowhere, but it's close. I have 8 dogs, a cat, and two horses. I am a dog groomer. I have my own shop in the closest small town from where I live. I breed topical fish for fun even though they cost way more than they bring in.
I just ordered chicks. They will arrive in early April. I've had chickens before but I have never raised them from babies where I am now. I will have to build something safe and functional for them. I've been devouring the pics of people's chicken houses. Mine won't be fancy but I'll do my very best to make it safe and functional. I'm not much of a carpenter but I have the necessary tools to do the job.
I know that I can do it. I know that it will take three times longer than I expect because since I hardly ever build anything.
every time I do I have to spend half a life time getting a picture of what I want in my head and figuring out parts and materials. Once I get started I have to stop and think along the way to avoid screw ups. Screw ups happen nonetheless and that wastes materials and time.
I have been devouring the pics of people's chicken coops. The fancy perfect ones are not to my taste. I like the ones that were made from stuff they had laying around waiting for a function. But there is one in particular I like. It's not what I need but I find it beautiful without being cutsie as well as functional. It's on page 62 post number 612.
