"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[LemonMeringue]

Well I put a roof structure on the chicken shelter. It's a bit rough, but it will hold roof material. Everything seems a bit hard by myself. I don't know how you guys out there do it. But in the end I think it will look ok.

Looks like they will have a chicken palace! I am sure they will love it!

Ok, this is not the final number/ numbers but it's close.....

Total birds entered--- 730 but we think that there is a few more in the mail.

Just over 200 Lg Fowl entered!

Just over 400 Bantams entered

Right at 100 birds entered in the Jr's classes

And I think 31 or 32 Water fowl entered

I will post pics but I doubt any vid. At least I won't have time I am already going to be swamped with things to do.

Jeff, Matt entered some Reds some NH's some WR's and something else. All together something like 23 birds. I entered 18 and a buddy of mine entered 10 of my birds.

A little bit of trivia about this. Chris, our club's VP Brad, and I did 2.5 hours worth of math to get the floor plan ready to give to LSU.
So, I thought this was an interesting bit of trivia: Once the show is set up, if we were to line all the coops up end to end, we would have 1,580 lineal feet of coops, or just over 1/4 mile of birds!

Too Cool! Is the bottom wire? Just wondering how to clean it when they get a little older.. Great Idea!!!

Laurie,

I remember how much you approve of young minors on public forums......



Goes to show you never know who is on the other side of the keyboard.

I was checking on my mealworm experiment......AND I HAVE 2 BEETLES! They are bigger then I expected. And there are lots more larva today too! So creepy but exciting too. I'm surprised at how easy this had been so far. And inexpensive too.

Never thought you'd be so excited to see bugs? Great job!

We (hahaha ok He- but I assisted!) Finished up a coop this morning. Latched removable roof, a sliding front door to enter, 2 people can* move entire coop- its technically 3 pieces-roof/base/pen (tho 4 people to move it is more practical lol him and I did move it).

Later this weekend an auto waterer with cups is going to be set up in the "V" between these two coops. Picked up a holding tank Halloween and water cups should arrive today. Yay!
