lol. the orange ones! my hubby likes Kubota.

thanks for all the welcomes. I thought about bantams, but I think i'd like the option of being able to send a few to freezer camp..."I think"...we'll see about that once I get attached to them at the end of the summer! and if I'm going to have some egg layers - they might as well be pretty blue eggs! we'll try hatching some - I have a young daughter who will enjoy that.

Just renamed a few of my more rowdy roos "Nuggets" and "Fingers".

There is a gathering of like minded folks in your area this summer... June 25th. Did you check the "chickenstocks" section of the forums. People there might be able to help you out, also.

yes you should check out Lovinstock. Kind of a large get together for people meet, talk, buy/sell/trade, and have a good time. If you click on the Lovinstock link in my sig line it will take you to the thread.

Yes, cows, 500lb chickens, horses.. they'd all be safe. Did I mention he's screwing everything together? With 4.5" coated screws? He ran out of screws Sunday night, and I suggested nailing. Got a horrified look

He bought more screws last night.
I'm going to die of old age before this is done

He is enjoying building this though, so that is a good thing. I reminded him I still would like a small coop/run in the garden. He said that's nothing, lol. Yep, I can imagine he'll still be building when the snow is flying (not really, I hope!).

to all the newer people! It's really a great place
