My vet once told me about a client that shared her nightly whiskey with her dog. Little lap size thing. Vet said it lived into it's 20s and was one of the healthiest dogs he knew. LOLNo idea, last year when Marlene was set on scalping everybody I spiked her water with beer like 75% water 25% beer. Made her much nicer, I do the beer thing to hormonal roos but I was at a loss with her so I just tried it. Might be miller time for Rosie.
I showed hubby this and told him I wanna build it! He said "as a coop?" . I said "of course". He said go for it. He wonders who I will put in it.
A few Polish of course!!!!

I may be a bit nutty.
@apryl29 I agree with bark lice. I looked up more pictures and they sure do fit the bill.
As for the taterhead rooster—I have one and I can’t kill him.I even have someone that will do it for me and turn him into dog food. I feel guilty because he wasn’t always a jerk. (I feel like I must have done something) I’ve tried charging him, ignoring him, standing up to him. Nothing seems to work. I’m wondering if he has brain damage or something. He’ll attack the lid to the waterer. I don’t have to be holding it. I can tak it off and he’ll attack it on the ground.
He so beautiful. He goes through spells of being ok to being a tater. I haven’t figured it out.
I love this! I could see me ending up with a whole train as chicken houses.
So woman, when you find a drink you like too much, you gotta share the recipe.
My last rooster that was a tater I fixed him by taking my normal walk down to the coop, with a big tree branch in my hand (2” diameter maybe?) and acting like i wasn’t watching him. Waited for him to come at me.... whack! Flat across her a chest. Broke the branch. He never came at me again, and was a perfect flock master after that, even died defending his girls from a hawk.
I don’t condone violence on animals, just saying I was at my wits end with him. If it hadn’t been a branch, it woulda been an axe.
I’d be interested in what you come up with. Seriously. I have all bantams, so I could see using it as a bachelor coop for a bunch of small roosters. 
I have no words. Justyesterday We had storms all afternoon so I wasn't out with the birds as much...
I went out between storms and about 6:30 pm one of the june 3rd poults was missing. Couldn't hear it calling and didn't find it anywhere in the yard. walked the fence, looked at the fence. until the lighting forced me inside.. it didn't show up this morning either. Not sure what happened, weather wasn't to the hawks liking, amd they do find inventive was to commit suicide...The one that had been sick for weeks , same hatch, was dead this morning.So I lost 2 from this hatch
Went out at 8 ish and it was raining and dark from the storms so the bird had gone to roost early.. locked up 3 of the coops and the last coop should have had 2 chickens and five 8wk poults.. NO POULTS.. sure enough they were in the rain sitting on the fence between pens.I got 3 in and 2 ran off in the pen. Came back with a flashlight and couldn't find a white one and couldn't catch the brown one.
and the white one showed up about 6 am
about 2 hour ago got an alert that storm was coming ... so I ran out and a poult, from the same hatch as the missing one, was on the wrong side of the electric fence... I turned off the fence and caught him.. I wonder if thats what happened to the missing poult? The fence was on and on the inside is netting so they can't touch the fence.. but if it got shocked it may have run off and gotten lost..
storms started again.
so I am glad I hatched so many. I have lost 2 to illness and 1 is a mystery. 15 left and I probably will lose a few more... Have to expect losses when they aren't confined.
I was bent down messing with the waterer and he launched himself at my head. I admit I kicked him. I was so shocked and it was my first defence. He came at me again. I've grabbed him and carried him around. Checked him over and basically pestered him for 10 min straight... then he left me alone for a few days.I love this! I could see me ending up with a whole train as chicken houses.
