Had a little marijuana with the Okie from Muskogee. Played video games with Lemmie and just chilled with Iggy. It was a blast.

Well, it is Coop Knox!

It is all done but the stain and drain tile/landscaping. My husband said we should wait to stain it until the dang wet Menards wood is dry, it is terrible. Water comes out of it when you screw them together, hopefully as it dries it don't bend and twist the heck out of my run. Anywhoo, you can tell where the original henhouse and run were, then the add on run. so excited! alot more room for them to roam, especially in the winter!

Front


Side that faces the road


Side that faces the back, added another door to the run.


Got a big branch up front there


Hardware cloth betwen the lower and upper roofs. (screwed and nailed down)

I'll eat my sock if anything can get in this run to kill my girls.

So, at one time today while out working, with the girls out free ranging, there were 4 eagles, 1 parent and 3 babies, and 2 hawks right on top of each other! This is why they can't free range without me out there. I'd have no girls left to build a coop for!

Nice work!!!! Lots of chickens for you!!

I was in Chi town!! Good to be back though. Lois jumped in my lap and pooped off the side of my lap right away and ofcourse a little got on me. Looks likea short day at work though. I might have a beer myself!!

Nice to see you survived the weekend festival! Was it a good time? I'm very jealous.


Beer.

How was the concert(s)?

Glad you're back.

And for the record just the other day I asked everyone here, where BlanchRanch was? Shouldn't he be back by now? and stated I missed you. The rest never gave a poop one way of the other....Just so you know who your friend is.

Ralphie you seem to have a little something brown on your lips. You might want to wipe that off before your DW gets home.

Yep, and I use it and LOVE it for raising chicks!  

As you should, it is s fantastic idea, I follow the thread, but don't say too much as I don't have any chicks yet, but next time I do I'll be using this method for brooding. Already bought my heating pad, and press and seal, so getting ready for "someday" but I love seeing pics of everyone else's chicks

 

[Cluckies]

Welcome back Blanch! Just keeping the 5 chicks for now though, probably as these drop off laying will get some more
Edited for a typo, on my phone...

 

[Rhetts]

Well we have our first ultrasound at 2, I think I can get 4 or 5 down the hatch by then.

Best of luck on the ultrasound for you and DW!


Blanch-I was wondering what the heck happened to you! Good to hear you made it home and had a great time!

That is a fringe benefit of raising broilers each year... you get a dose of little fluff butts! Even if you do know where they are headed in a few months. It helps when they start getting uglier as their feathers come in

It does, but it is hard to kill them too. My Meatballs are the friendliest birds. They are the only ones I have that want to sit on my lap. I really like the personality of CX's! I know it is weird but they are so sweet!

OK Ralphie I am ready to hear your I told you so. Game warden here today says I have fox and bobcat no wolf. BUT if it comes again and I get a picture on my game cam or more tracks to call them so they can see the evidence first hand. What a joke! I could cry right now. So frustrating!
