Lol. I need to desperatly but there are only 3 babies. I gave them to a hen that has babies already.

****! I can't believe that thing is still sitting here!

We're tearing down a barn tomorrow so we'll have wood for another one. Don't know where he's going to build it since he doesn't (and can't by himself) move the current one!

Unless your DH still plans to bring us stuff for the one he wanted?

Keyt -- Maybe you're running into a limit in the market and/or a slow season? It makes sense that your sales would be slowing down as chick sales tend to slow down after the spring / early summer rush. I'm thinking there's also probably only so many people each year, within driving distance, with the means to haul something that large who would want/need a chicken coop. That's one of the limits of an non-consumable products on a small/local scale... repeat buyers are severely limited and each sale basically leads to the depletion of your market. One out of old barn wood would be very cool though, can't wait to see pics of what he comes up with.

Dinner #1 and Dinner #2.

I read somewhere that naked necks have thinner skin, and finer meat so they make a superb roasting bird. I told himself I wanted some to try but he said no. Since when did "no" mean anything anyway. The dog ignores "no" so why shouldn't I?

Aren't Uggos some kind of naked neck type ? Are they tasty, my precious?

I found this egg holder on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Spiral-Egg-Holder-12-Eggs/dp/B00133EVCQ pretty cool too.

The nice thing about the egg skelter though, is when you remove the bottom egg, the rest roll down. The one on Amazon, you have to manually move all the eggs!

I had a house in Maine that was post & beam circa 1800. Anyway to avoid taxes, and since it was falling over, I went out there and tore it down with my BIL. I hauled back 8' lengths of board between 36" and 12" wide. It's about an inch thick. I've been storing it for several years. Maybe it would make a cool "antique" coop. I'll bet the chickens would appreciate it - NOT! I need to start building a new coop, time to expand. I'm thinking 4 separated areas w/four runs.

Ha! Yeah, they'll appreciate it alright.

Now... a potting shed or small green house might be neat though. Especially a green house made with the "antique" boards and some old windows. Well, you volunteered, when you making me one? LOL!
