I gave away a free mobile home... 9 times in the past two years. And it's still sitting in my back yard.

Maybe you should just keep it and make it into a BIG chicken coop.

I did think about it! But it's sitting right where I want to build a new garage someday. We had a young couple came out and tore the addition off of it (12 X 70), cleaned up all the mess they made and got it ready to move. But that was like three months ago and they still haven't came back and moved it.

I never thought that could happen. I have been looking for a free house/mobile home for the last 5 years to turn into another chicken house. I guess I have bad luck because I can't find one for nothing. If I were closer, I would have taken yours.

Someone up here was selling a "chicken broader" to keep chicks warm.

A lot of these people are told that these chickens are the misspelled, faintly similar to the original name, breeds. I got a lot of my chicks from swaps when I was first starting out, and that is what happened to us. Luckily we had a little thing called Google and became aware of this before we made fools of ourselves at shows. Plus a lot of old farmers have their own versions of the names of breeds of chickens that they use and you cant tell them any different. And I have a few friends that have "banny" chickens.

Trouble is the in-laws might see it and want to move in ...

Actually, since I live in Southern Ohio seeing misspelled words in ads is normal. At work, I used to keep a dictionary of misspelled words and can now interpret most of what I see in ads.
