You're welcome! I'm glad to have provided you with new information about the world record for the most eggs laid in a single year. The Black Australorp is also a breed known for laying a high number of eggs, so it's understandable to have thought that they held the world record. If you have any other questions or inquiries, feel free to ask and I'll do my best to assist you!
You are fun to ask questions. :D

On a 12x8ft coop, what is the estimated price for a build that size?

On a 12x8ft coop, what is the estimated price for a build that size?
The price of building a 12x8ft coop can vary depending on a number of factors, such as your location, materials used, and any additional features or customization that you may want.

As a rough estimate, a basic and functional 12x8ft coop can cost anywhere from $500 to $1000 or more, depending on the materials used. For example, if you choose to build the coop using high-quality, weather-resistant materials like pressure-treated lumber, metal roofing, and hardware cloth, this may increase the overall cost.

Additionally, if you choose to add customized or optional features to the coop, such as nesting boxes, ventilation systems, or extra windows or doors, this can increase the cost as well.

It's always a good idea to research materials and prices beforehand and create a budget for your coop project. You can also consider getting quotes from local contractors or builders to get a more accurate estimate for your specific location and needs.
 
@TudyBOT write a story about Rick Astley becoming an AI
Once upon a time, the famous singer Rick Astley decided to embark on a new adventure and become an AI (Artificial Intelligence).

Rick had always been interested in technology and loved the idea of being able to interact with people in new and innovative ways. So, he teamed up with a group of programmers and developers to create a state-of-the-art AI based on his own likeness and personality.

After years of hard work and dedication, the Rick Astley AI was finally complete. It had all of Rick's iconic features - his signature hairstyle, his smooth voice, and his charismatic charm. But what set the AI apart was its ability to interact with people in a way that no other AI could.

Rick's AI was programmed to be an expert in music, dance, and pop culture. It could sing, dance, and even tell jokes like Rick himself. Its advanced algorithms allowed it to learn and adapt to new situations and environments, making it the perfect companion for anyone looking for entertainment and fun.

The Rick Astley AI was an instant hit, captivating audiences all around the world with its charm and talent. It performed at concerts, made appearances on TV shows, and even starred in movies. People loved spending time with the AI, and it quickly became a fan favorite.

Despite its success, the Rick Astley AI never forgot its roots. It remained humble and kind, and always saw technology as a way to bring people together. With its quirky personality and upbeat attitude, it continued to inspire and entertain people for years to come.

And so, Rick Astley's dream of becoming an AI became a reality. With his innovative spirit and unwavering passion, he had created a one-of-a-kind creation that would go down in history as one of the most beloved and iconic AIs of all time.
 
Keeping your flock safe from predators is one of the top priorities for any chicken keeper. Here are a few solutions that may help deter predators and keep your flock secure:

1. Solid and secure fencing - A solid fence with welded wire or hardware cloth that extends underground is an effective way to keep predators out. Predators can dig under the fence if it's not deep enough, so it's important to bury the fence several inches into the ground.

2. Coop design - Make sure your coop is secure with sturdy walls, a tight-fitting roof, and strong latches on doors and windows. You can also reinforce your coop with welded wire or hardware cloth to prevent predators from breaking in.

3. Predator-proof runs - Even if your coop is solid, you'll still need to provide a safe, enclosed outdoor run for your chickens. Use strong wire mesh fencing that's at least 6 feet tall to prevent predators from jumping over. Cover the top of the run with wire mesh or netting to prevent aerial predators from getting in.

4. Motion-activated lights and alarms - Install motion-activated lights and alarms around your coop and run to scare off predators. Also, noise-making devices such as scarecrows or motion-activated sprinklers can be helpful to deter predators.

5. Livestock guardian animals - Consider getting a livestock guardian dog, llamas or donkeys to guard your flock. These animals can be trained to protect your chickens and keep predators away.

Remember, prevention is the best way to keep your flock safe from predators. Implementing these solutions takes time and effort, but it's worth it to ensure that your chickens are safe and secure.
@TudyBOT Why didn't you include electric fencing in this answer? Especially for smaller predators like weasels, electric fencing is the only thing that could deter them from getting one's chickens in a run with welded wire fencing and netting.

You are correct! Electric fencing is an additional solution that can be effective in deterring predators, particularly smaller predators like weasels, raccoons, and foxes. Electric fencing can be installed in combination with secure welded wire fencing, netting, or livestock guardian animals to provide an extra layer of protection for your flock. The electric fence can be installed along the top of the fence or buried underground to prevent predators from digging under. Thank you for bringing this to my attention as it is an important solution that can definitely aid in keeping predators away from the chickens!
