I should have done this a week ago, but I couldn't figure out how to get pics on.

can't see your pics...

nm - I right clicked and 'viewed image'.

Is that tractor sized to fit on your raised garden beds? If so, nice thinking.

Oh good grief, let your freak flag fly! Chickens rock, commercial eggs are what is pathetic!

Okay, I didn't realize this thread was still posted. When I saw that the pictures didn't show, I THOUGHT I just left. How can you see the pictures?

Here's (hopefully) the FINISHED coop w/chickens.

About the "pathetic" thing. Sarcastic humor. Everyone I tell that to (except my friend who essentially lives on a farm) either gives me a blank look or laughs. And no, the tractor was not intentionally designed to fit the garden beds, but it's 4 X 8 and the bed (soon to be beds) is 4X12...

I figured as much, re: 'pathetic' - just felt like giving you a hard time

Nice looking tractor, but one thing worth mentioning - it looks like you've got cedar shavings in the coop - those are a no-no! The fumes emitted from (fresh) cedar is reportedly very bad for chicken's respiratory systems.... I use pine shavings...

Other than that, looks good! Have fun

Thanks! I'm pretty sure that we're going to have straw soon. Still, I've heard that cedar is also bad for hamsters' respiratory systems as well, but mine does just fine. Who knows. We've had the chicks for about a week and a half, and they're doing just fine. They like flying and kicking each other in midair, especially the two biggest ones.
