Well not 10 minutes after I posted them, someone bought them!
Updated pic of one of my tolbunts. Maybe I should take them to an auction, but I have never been and would have no idea what to do or what to expect.
Hey, this is awesome!! This is a good ideaI'm so egg-cited....So back in April we started our chickens over with 2 Americaunas, 2 RIR, and 4 NHR. I have been telling my wife that I wanted to expand our 8' x 12' x 6' enclosed pen to have an adjacent 12' x 13' x 6' enclosed pen. I've been gathering palettes to use as fencing. Here's a pic to give an idea.
(I was standing on a ladder) In the bottom right is the roof of the chicken's house and moving up the right side of the pic is the existing pen. Anyway, you can get an idea of what I want to do by seeing where I've got the palettes set up. We are gonna paint the palettes white like picket fence and for the top covering my mother is giving me a whole bunch of chain-link fencing with the poles. I'm getting a couple bails of hay and some grass seed this week. After I get the fencing overhead and the "palette picket" fence up I'll have to buy some chicken wire to line the inside so predators can't reach through. I prefer the vinyl coated wire. By the time I get the whole thing enclosed the chickens will have some lush, green grass to munch on with plenty of bugs.
In addition to this expansion I have had my eye on a cabinet that had been sitting in a vacant house's carport for a while. I thought to myself that it would make a great chicken house. Well I saw a guy cutting the yard there today. I stopped and asked if I could have it and he said sure. I'll post a picture tomorrow because it's still in the back of my truck. It's awesome!!!! My plan is to be able to get about 8 more birds in the spring so I want to have plenty of room for them.
