I wish my DH would finish the coop!

They are six weeks old today and have outgrown their brooder.

~*sigh*~ Here's a bigger better home....just waiting.

Make him a deal,LOL. It is almost done, and looking good. Perhaps his favorite meal and breakfast in bed if he gets it done for ya. Tell him it is really nice, and will be such a proud day for him when he completes it. Best of luck

Wow! He's doing a real nice job! Make sure you pass on our compliments and tell him we can't wait to see the finished product (while you light a fire under his butt!)

Al...I wish it were that easy. I just have to put on my patient hat and keep it tightly in place. I have 10 broilers coming next week, and he promised to make a portable tractor for them (It's not started yet). I'm thinking I may need to pass on the meat birds this spring. Maybe mid summer.​

YES!
Bribe him with sex!

Us guys respond to that kind of bribe!

LOL!!! He gets that pretty regularly. Maybe I should threaten to cut him off till the coops finished??

Well, no bribing needed here. Just a few gentle reminders of how important it is to you and then ask..."Is it done yet?", Is it done yet?"....LOL! I tell my DH what a big, strong handyman he is and then he smiles and wants me to be happy so he does it......always works for me

Here is our coop:

Until he crosses his legs and grovel!

You can "threaten" to undo his handywork by picking up a tool and say I will finish this myself since you are very busy right now. And put up the hardware wire temporarily from top to bottom, and use U nails.

That would get the fire under his feet.

Or hire a handyman.
