Beautiful pictures, Bucka!

You have a 2 story coop? How cool is that!

This morning's snow (it's already melting):
Chicken coop. They refused to come out!

Very nice.......what's the inside like?

My henhouse is a 2 story coop too. I will take a picture of it.

OH WOW ! ! I just clicked on your coop page, BuckaBucka, under your name.
That is just so neat!

No, no! This is not a 2 story coop. This used to be our house!

We lived in it while we built the real house. The bottom half is now chicken coop, and upstairs is storage (trash, really). I talked about putting chickens up there, but the only access is a vertical ladder nailed to the wall (I used to have to climb it to get to bed), and then, of course, the chickens would need a really, really long ramp to get out! I would love to have a chicken sky-walk, but my personal carpenter (DH) says no way.

You can see the inside by clicking on the My Coop link under my avatar, but you have to scroll down through the whole renovation process.

DH is going to build another coop though, just like the hoop houses in the garden (mobile), but better ventilated and predator proof. I can't wait to fill it with more chickens!

Thanks! My sister (the one in Alaska) says the chickens live better than she does!

I'm baaaa-aaaack! And I'm joining the Easter hatch-a-long! I'll be hatching my mom's barnyard assortment plus all the Silkie-X eggs that my hens lay. Great luck to everyone!

Beam me down Scottie! I'd love to learn how to process.

Michelle, I don't know of anyone around where I live who processes (probably are plenty but I don't know my neighbors all that well) so I learned by going to an internet site. If you have done a chicken, I find turkeys even easier. There is a lot more room inside to work your hands in to get the innards out. If you google butchering a turkey, there are plenty of sites and I am sure there are plenty of videos.

Laree,
If your husband needs 2 helpers and you have a volunteer already, why aren't YOU the second person?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Someone has to watch the kids. NO ONE volunteers for that.
