I thought the snow would be a good backdrop for some pictures of some of my 6 month old Silkies. They weren't too impressed with the white stuff!

Great pictures. I can't wait to get a couple silkies this spring.

CluckAcres- can't wait to see the finished product. Never really thought about using pallets like that. I'm assuming you then cover both the outside and inside with some sort of sheeting?

I like the pallet setup. I am thinking of doing my hog shelter in them!

You will love them. Besides being pretty they are so sweet and you can't ask for a better broody/mama. They enjoy attention and even my roos fall asleep when I hold and pet them.

I have been outside working on another Chicken/Turkey Coop. Here is a few pics of what I have done so far today. It will have a slant roof, that's why the back is shorter than the front.

Brrrrr!! That just looks freezing, bet you get a lot of drifts. Any trees behind you to help break the winds?

I was told I had to check out a blog that i would find it very interesting, So I went to it and it had all kinds of very useful information like fermenting feed and other interesting thing. So I am wanting to share it all with you as well. Here is the link. I will also post this link in our Member/Events/Links page. http://naturalchickenkeeping.blogspot.com/

change of plans today, DD's car broke down. No brooder today, hopefully tomorrow

I am considering repurposing a huge dog crate I had for house training my english mastiff. Its the wire type, measures in feet..4DX3WX3H, can anchor perches for them in there. metal tray be easy to clean. Have some 1" thick foam sound deadening (hard, not the insulation type) For sidewalls to keep bedding in... Wheels are turning in my brain... hehe!

I will take the pallets apart and used the slats for siding and over lap them like on wood siding. I have some headliner insulation which i will wrap around it before put up the siding.
