I've just been reading on the turbine vents for those of us that have gabled roofs and not the simple slants. I think it would be almost worth it to do a roof cap that allows venting down the whole length of the peak rather than the turbine vent....Just read one thread and read one instruction thing for installing turbine vents. I'm overwhelmed already.

I need to show this to my DH who is in the process of adding run space to my coop after I hen-pecked him.

Hi guys! I am from near alexandria and I am looking for a old english game bantam, sebright bantam, or hamburg bantam rooster for my maiden rock hen. She is all alone with my ducks now and I want to keep her line going. She can survive totally on her own but I am trying to domesticate her and get her to live in the barn. If anyone has a extra rooster I could buy please let me know.
Thanks, Nathan

Hi Nathan, Thanks for looking into getting your hen a little friend, chickens like to be in flocks. if you can't find one, the dude at ramsey farm and garden might have a half english game bantam/half japanese something or other bandam. A juvinile, so cute! you'd have to call and ask though, it might be spoken for, or he might be keeping him. I saw it last week, he thought it was going to be a cockerel.

Im thinking of buying a 4x8 sheet of reflective insulation board and putting on the back side of the roosts to reflect their body heat back onto them. I should have adequate head room in my coop if you remember I have a quanset style coop with the peak being 8ft tall. I hope the condensation will ride up the walls and into the peak where there is a vent pipe. With that vent and my 4 windows I hope I will be okay. Heres a dumb question, seems like everyone is putting a reflective surface right above the roost and I get that it will reflect heat back down on top of them but wont that also trap some condensation aswell?

I've used the reflective insulation board on the roof ends of one of my coops but discovered that if they can get to it, the chickens will eat it. Not just a few pecks but the entire thing if they can. Silly things! They love foam insulation!
