"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

I wish I could build one like that but I am too precise and it would end up square. I have been thinking about my next coop now that I know I have a reliable broody. (Not like I already have enough things to do, right?) I am going to talk to them and see if they have measurements. I might be able to follow them if I don't have to think about it off the top of my head. Worth a try.

How many do you need to house? I have a set of plans that I can email you that I got from one of my homeowners. I have been very pleased with the coop. The only thing I did was double the size of the run. My coop specs say 10-12 chickens. Just let me know and I can PM the info to you.
 
Good morning & Happy Boss’s Day! Since most of us on here ARE bosses of one thing or another, lol!

I’m bored at work, slow day, guess I’ll work the crossword puzzle in the paper today and hone my skills at spider solitaire.

I have 15 now and no telling with chicken math and all later down the road. I only have 7 in the coop right now, my broody and her chicks are still in the house and will go in the grow out pen soon. I have about 2 months before something must be built to integrate them all. They free range all day and don't need much room inside. I have a 4'X4' right now that comfortably housed 10 at one point in time. The door is opened for them before they even get off the roost as to avoid crowding. I wanted something a little bit bigger in case I had to leave them in there for some reason. I have been considering multilevel coops as a way to get the most out of the higher areas without them harming themselves from jumping down too far. Just planning for now to make sure that I don't have to build too many more. Every time I build a coop I find something that I want to change for the next time It's like buying a house, you don't know it's a problem until you live there for a while. I want lower nest boxes covered by a roost and a poop board (no outside access), a broody area so that I do not have to keep her separated, food and water mounted to wall, stand up room, and lifted 2' off the ground. At this point converting a storage shed seems like the best option but I wanted something a little different. Size and looks are not a problem in my area.

A slow day is a good day. It may seem longer but at least you don't have the crazies coming out of the woodwork!
 
Country people are better disciplined and have better manners? In which city and state and which medieval time?


Uh, there were/are plenty of gun toting hoodlums in the country. History has documented the country gangs toting guns on their horses and killing people and vandalizing and burning people's property. This was going on way before New Orelans. Their are some country hoodlums as well. I know some that live by me and I wouldn't give them a cup of chicken fertilizer from my chicken coop or a pile of crazy ants so that they can start an ant farm. I wish they would move the HECK out of the country somewhere else and hitch up their trailers and the trailer skirting and haul it off to the closest land fill and dump it right there along with all of the trash (cigarettes packs, cigarette butts and beer cans - which is a great landmark that I describe for people that need to find my house) in their yard. A lot of these country people have poor health because they are too poor (may not be their fault because of their social status or their life situations) to afford insurance and their bodies look it (which may attribute to those stats that were posted earlier). Most have no dental insurance and the last 7 teeth that they have in their mouth are either rotten or hanging on by a thread.


I think I better stop while I'm ahead. I feel that little child in me that is about to burst out and say something that could be construed as offensive.


I feel that every person is given opportunities in life. What they do with that is up to them.


Stick a fork in me cause I'm done. :frow

:yesss:    We got a rant!!!!!   :woot    :goodpost:


Yeppers!
 
Just wanted to add that hoodlums also dress in 3 piece Armani suits ( $2,000.00) , wear Bruno Magli Rammola shoes ( $415.00), wear Rolex watches ( $10,000.00) and drive cars worth $100,000.00. This type of hoodlum can rob and has robbed people of their life savings without toting a gun and can change your entire life around and cause you to become homeless, lose all of your valuable possessions, lose your family, lose your health insurance, deplete your bank account and devastate your livelihood. :oops:


These are the people that I would be afraid of. Innocent folks never see something like that coming. At least when you see a gun toting hoodlum, you can cross the street or never venture off into their neck of the woods if that's what you chose to do. Some powerful CEOs and other execs can fool you and you would never know how big of a hoodlum they are until you lose your life savings that you had been saving for for years.

I think of the exesc at Enron when I think of hoodlums.


Is there a difference between a good hoodlum (has manners, likes to share, eats healthy, does not carry a gun or weapon, does not participate in drive bys) and bad hoodlum (no description needed for this one)? :idunno

:thumbsup    Annnndddddd.....she's done?   :oops:      I'm teasing...very well said.

:yuckyuck

LO L@ Annnnnnnddddddd.......she's done? Not done yet. :lau

You asked for rants and that's what you're gonna get. :lau

There are lots of those out there, Kuntrygirl. It's sad. On CNBC there are lots of white collar swindler shows. Most use ponsey tricks to use up other people's money to live crazy elaborate lifestyles. R. Allen Stanford did that here and elsewhere. One of my friends was invested in his firm. She was a retired Social Worker. It looked like she was doing well so I put my money there, too. Shortly after I did the Feds raided his firm. My friend lost 1/2 of her retirement money. And some people lost all of theirs. These people can't go back to work to try to restore their retirement. I was lucky. Stanford would have put my money in bogus CD's within a week or so when they were raided. They had already told me they were going to. I didn't lose my money. I am so blessed, I came close to losing it all. And I saved that all my life, sometimes $25 or $50 a month. And at those times it was a sacrifice to do that. During good times I did more, but I always put in something. I cannot say on BYC what I think of someone who takes money someone saved all their life to buy another Rolex or another villa on Lake Como in Italy. Grrrrrr



Sorry to hear about what happened in your area. I have never heard of of R. Allen Standofrd. I will have to look him up to find out more about him and what happened. Glad that you didn't lose any money.
 
We're gonna do 25 CX free range with organic fermented feed.
Hubby informed me via text while I am at work He's ordering them, Surprise! lol Cook one bully hen and look what happens! Meaties! Nothin compares to home grown organic chicken dinners.
Dang chicken math is even worse now I have friends asking to buy them at slaughter and order extra for them. Whaaaaa? Lol


That is great news. He informed you via text? Gotta love it. :lau

LOL @ cook one bully hen and look what happens.

Keep us informed with reports as often as you can in reference to their growth, feed comsumption, etc. I would love to hear how your CX project progresses. Also would love to know staring and ending weights. When will you be getting your 25 CX and where are you geting them from?

Somehow I missed this until I saw kuntrygirls response. I went back and looked till I found it. I am sorry for your friends losses and glad you had only a "near miss". I fall back on my usual rant of "There's a special place in hell for people who abuse children, animals...you can add steal hard earned money to my list.
