Meat hut Lol!
Might take you up on that shipping offer, definitely more the merrier. I only plan on ordering 15 naked necks. I usually order 25 chicks at a time, never had a dead chick. If we go in on a order anytime in May is good for me. We are going away for a week last week of April, so can't do any before that, that's why I figure May's good.

We are ordering first week of April and first week of may so if you want to add to my May order I can keep them here until you get home if you like. We will also be ordering mid May if you would rather add then. Just PM me and we can figure out details.

The floor, ceiling, door, and sections of wall. Please excuse the mess, with some of my shelving gone its hard to find space for stuff to go. This all started with finding a new frig at Lowes in their scratch n dent selection.

So I'm building my cabinet incubator this weekend and I wanted to ask you guys a question- do you think it's better to put the fans and lights at the top or bottom?

I love projects that start like that. You can never tell what the future brings when you go to Lowe's.

Soooooo, as of last week, I was looking at 7 RIR's and 1 BO to start my mini-flock...that has changed even before I picked up my little ladies.....the BO is out and 3 Rainbows are in. Dad wasn't onboard with the chicken idea until a stop at Runnings yesterday, he saw a photo of adult Rainbows and fell in love with the colors. I know I asked a few days back about the whole RIR+1BO flock, the general feeling was that it might be okay but there should be more than 1 oddball. I am thinking that the 3 Rainbows should be just fine with the RIR group...all the ladies will be the same age and (from what I have read) the same size.

God help me, I've only started the base frame of the coop and I've already got to expand it.

Our frigabator has the fan in the bottom. Don't forget air holes, we learned the hard way. We had better results when we added a few more holes for ventilation.

@nposluszny one of my coops is mixed flock. Sussex, polish, brown legorn, easter eggers, silkies, giants, used to have welsummers in there also. Everyone gets along fine.

That's great to hear! I would hate to have them start "turf wars" with each other.

@Tab's chicken obsession sounds like us. Two yrs ago we were in Home Depot buying new outside doors, the ones on our house were over a hundred yrs old and cold. I was checking out a kitchen cabinet display, manager walks by and says 'you want it $500, today only, have to get it out of here to make room for more refrigerators'. Mentioned it to the wife, our kitchen was really crappy. She said no, not now. We left. Then she says even if we bought cheap cabinets, two cost $500, I told her the guy said the counter alone with built-in sink was $500. Drove back and bought it. It was one of the high grade setups, crown molding and everything, $6,000 setup complete for $500.
Ruined my summer though, we completely gutted the kitchen, walls floor everything.
