Thanks Dawn!

Winter is a big consideration. My mother used to keep chickens in Vermont, so I figure they'll survive MA (Boston area) without too much trouble.

You're so Welcome!

We've been down in the low 20's here already for it still being Fall and the Silkies are doing fine. I was really worried (heck, I always worry) that those temps would be too cool but they all roost right in the doorway, in a pile. They are probably warmer out there than we are in our old, run-down mobile home. Hmmm, wonder if there's room for me, too?

Could have had the TekFoil by now but opted for an incubator instead since we don't usually get cold this soon...

argh! I saw this the other day, I have 2 of these chickn barns i want to modify like yours. (GREAT idea!) I bought the lumber, drew some sketches. Ready to start today! I just checked your link on imagestation and it is saying Image Station is permanently closed! Maybe its a fluke?

ok found another link to your progress pages (thanks for posting that for us um... construction impaired/DIY gals!

)

i've cut my 45 1/4 width boards... trying to figure out how you came up with 82 5/8 length... Im getting 83" is the length. All my other measurements agree with yours. Is this subtracting the width boards from the totals maybeeeeeee?????????
