INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

[CharlemagneRoost]

I've been looking for a old wooden door for my pallet palace coop. We've been to antique stores and a few yard sales, we've seen a couple but I just never bought one for one reason or another. So the other day we were at my moms visiting. I asked her if they had a door sitting around (they don't throw anything away). My stepdad (dad) said he thought there was one in the old shed! Sure enough there was and it was a perfect fit (almost had to trim a little length and width) and the color is great. I got it installed this morning and I think it turned out great!!! I'm not even going to clean off the dust and cobwebs it's a nice touch of character!

Here is a look from the inside

New hinges but the doorknob is original and works!

That looks fantastic!

I'm in indy.


I've got way too many birds on a tiny property sigh. 30 on a third of an acre, though 9 of them are silkies and 26 are babies or juveniles.

I know it's hard to pare down. Chickens are an addiction! I'm interested. I'll send you a PM.

Hey would anyone be willing to do a meat Co op? I'm wanting a turkey for thanksgiving and maybe Christmas. I'm willing to buy them but I have no room to raise them. I'm also willing to provide feed, and to help clean them, though I don't think I could do the actual head chopping off. Would this be something others are interested in?

This always happens to me. Just about done and realize I didn't get enough supplies. So frustrating!

Funny story from yesterday.......

I got up an hour late and left 15 minutes late. I think I get ready faster than I ever have in my life. 18 minutes! At the end of the class we were doing the lab part and a guy said we will forgive you for wearing that shirt here. I didn't get at first and then looked at my shirt. It dawned on my. I said I didn't watch sports or anything, it was just a shirt to wear. If no one guessed what shirt I was wearing, it was a IU shirt!

CHHICKENS~ You were just representing the IU part of IUPUI.

P.S. You forgot to label the breed(s) of your chicks.

raisinemright ~ Great door story-- nice family history.

Oh my! Goooooo Cubby! I saw my EE in a nestbox today too. She only lays a few dozen a year, but the chicks are so pretty! She jumped out and left it eggless. Maybe tomorrow!

Ah, Cubby did the same. I guess she's not ready to retire, but her body is.

Love the babies, but I especially loved these last two pictures! Eek, I'm getting so excited for my littles to come!!
