Icelandic Chickens

On a another subject, huge thanks to Kelly for giving me a hutch/coop thingy to use as a brooder condo. I cut the legs off to make it floor level, added an adjustable window screen down the center to make it two rooms, added a second door, and constructed a fiberglass awning to keep poopers off. I think it is going to work great. I even built a little deck and stairs to allow the babies to get back in. The top lifts up for cleaning too! I even have a little space to the right for the juvies to hide from the big girls if they need to. I am not sure where they are going to sleep tonight as there used to be a low roost in the spot! They'll figure it out. They're Icelandics!

Here are the two crazies that will be checking into the inn this evening:

Cara, who is sitting on four wooden eggs.

And Lukka, who is sitting on three wooden eggs and one real egg she stole from Cara when she took over her nest box!

Thanks again Kelly! Coffee and scones are on me next week. Thank Nick for me too!

fight back, stall, threaten to sue, make them give it to you in writing if they did not already, tell them you and 100s of BYC friends are going to stage a protest at city hall if they dont back off, tell them u have a good friend that works for a big TV network and if they come take your birds it will be on the 6 O clock news, pay a lawyer 100$ to write them a letter that u will sue them if they proceed, call the mayor, and the city council...

just a few thoughts... glad i live in the country...

Cheryl.......I agree with everyone else, fight back and don't give up! You have had to deal with way more than any person should have to deal with.

You can beat these guys. It makes me wonder if the sewage people are the ones that turned you in.

Mary..... the brooder looks great! That was a fast transformation! I should have traded it for a couple of those pullets in your yard!

Anytime! I had to be fast. The broodies are in control of the prison. The really amazing part is I only had to make one trip to Home Depot for the hardware, wood, and the fiberglass paneling. I think that's a personal best for me.

Mary-- great little broody hut!! I love seeing everyone's great ideas... I plan on copying a lot of them this summer...

It's spring break this week so I'm planning to build a couple of grow out coops.. Can't wait for my Icelandic and Jersey Giant eggs to come in about 3 weeks... It's going to be a great summer!!!

You know they say that wisdom comes with age..... I'm thinking they meant senility....
