My coop

[suburbanhomesteader]

Dear Texan-
Is your buddy married?

If not, I'll send a resume. I always wanted to find a Jeremiah Johnson-type, self-reliant Wisconsan or Minnesotan. I'm a hard worker and love cold weather.

I'm joking, but only 20%....

Your Friend: "Knock Knock.... Hi neighbor, can I pull up the rocks out of your field?"

Neighbor: "Hmmm... I'll have to check with the family... we really enjoy tripping on them when we are running, cracking our heads on them when we fall, having them mess up our tractors/plows, and generally working around them... Yeah, I'll have to think about it."

Your Friend: "Sooo... I'll get started now then!?"

LOVE the coop!!!​

Ok, so not only do I think it is the nicest coop I have ever seen (again, I love stone houses and outbuildings) but I want to live in it! My girls definately live in the ghetto....lol

suburbanhomesteader - Sorry, he is married. I showed him your response and it made him blush though. It was pretty funny.

dreamgirl - I guess it's inside size is about 10 feet wide x 20 feet long. The rafters are about 7 feet up.
The chickens seem to be fine up there. The chickens seem to like to roost up there. Your question has me worried. Is there a problem with them going up that high? This is my first batch of birds so I didn't think it would hurt them being up that high. They jump right off and fly down ok it seems.
