@Chaos18 Here it is, I added the extra bord to keep them from climbing in it.

@Chaos18I also give 1/3-1/2 scoop of grain per doe in the winter twice a day. Plus free choice minerals and baking soda. I alternate a good grass and a legume or legume grass mix hay. In the worst weather remember goats hate wet and wet hay. I have a covered feeder that I made from a plastic shipping crate that I got damaged from a machine place. It has the two sides that fold down partially open. I made a plywood lid. I will search for a picture. They do OK with a round bale if it is semi shelterded. You can also make a cattle panel feeder with an old partial panel hooked at the bottom of the wall (hinged) and v-ed out at the top for loading in their shed.

Thanks for the help.

So as of today Most of the flock is gone. 

Coop#1  4 tolbunt polish hens need a roo, two icelandics I am keeping = 6
Coop#2   layer pen with a BCM roo, BCM hen, two project CBR OE layers, Blue Marans hen, one old PBR  = 6
Coop#3  temp coop until I sell off quad of juvie brahma, one blue brahma hen and her 5 babies  = 5 & 5chicks
Coop#4 empty

Serama 25 littles, 8 growing out as possible replacements, and 8 icelandics growing out
4 pheasants probably going to dads after I process the cornish up there

1 goose 7 ducks




so do the grow out littles count as chickens?  

I think not

Nope they don't count here either. And nice on getting numbers down. Still working on mine although it doesn't look like it.

Littles do not count? Ummm at what age do you count them then? And getting numbers down? What is this strange idea? Sounds scary to me! 52 and holding, Littles included.

I sold so many and gave so many away, I had more than I would care to admit, having one LF roo has NEVER happened here. EVER so very quiet and the yard is not alive anymore. But when it cools the goats will be playing around and kiddos too. It is time to get rid of them, and more to go, coop three is next, I need to take pics and sell off the Quad of brahma and get rid of two drakes and the goosers is going back to sara as she lost most of her flock of geese.

They want BB for Big ummmm round things, or Percy..... Not sure I want a P name for him just because the others are beginning with it.

Bubba's first day of school.

So I was at 60 something with littles. 20, 15 week old littles in the freezer now so down to 40 something. The older hens were to be gone a while ago but they are laying pretty well paying for the littles feed so they are still here. This will have to end though as its more than I want to or have time to do.
