"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

Our chicken project for today...a copula to go on top of the chicken house. With the couple of upper 20/lower 30 nights we recently had I closed the end doors of the building and the next morning there was too much humidity in there so...a cupola...

Thats a great idea....and it looks good too

So happy for you! I miss having my chickens but so glad to see another generation carrying on!

Thank you... the Brinsea works like a champ!!!

Okay, I have a question. Just curious because someone on another poultry site had brought up fighting roosters. I don't believe in game fighting roosters . Just putting that out there. I think it is cruel and I love animals too much to do something like that. But seeing people comment about fighting roosters made me question if it is legal to do it. I found a mention online that it was banned in louisiana in 2014. Does anyone know if that is the case or not?

Banned and you will be arrested. Pam

It is illegal in Louisiana.
Even if it were still legal, it's not something I would support. Cock fighting for sport is different than a couple of roosters going at it in the backyard. There are knives and such that are strapped to the legs for maximum injury (death).

Like the cupola idea. Show pics when done plz

That is what I thought but wasn't sure. I have seen talk on some sites where they kinda skate around the topic without coming right out and saying they fight roosters. That is just wrong.

Great idea & LOVE your Model A - what year? We have a 1930 my grandfather bought new off the line.

Thanks so much! It is a 1931 truck with an original steel roof (Budd Cab). There's not many of them around anymore. Sadly we have listed it for sale. After the neck surgery this summer my husband can no longer drive it. If you notice in the background we also have an abundance of Model A parts.
What is your's? Coupe, Tudor, Fordor, Roadster??? Got pics?
I would love to find a Phaeton for us!

Hey guys, I want your advice. I bought a coop/cage that I'm going to be renovating a bit. I'll edit this post and add a photo from my phone, so this may be hard to follow until the photo is posted. For some reason my laptop doesn't want to.

The tin covers all but a fourth of the top, and that section is the only door. The tin also covers the back side, and halfway up the two sides. The inside is completely plain and one big cage. What I would like to do is separate a portion of the inside into a roosting area, or add on a roosting area to the top and make a ramp to the bottom. I'm not sure which would be easier and want opinions.

I would also like to add two nest boxes, and am also thinking along the lines of whether to add a section inside for nest boxes and cut a door into the roof/side, or to add external nest boxes that connect to a side

Picture coming in a moment!

I would build a coop above it like you mentioned with laying boxes. Just enclose the whole thing
