Well, the coop will be finished on Saturday. The temps will be higher, the snow is supposed to stop by morning, and I should be done bleeding by then.
Has anyone ever used an electric screwdriver to drive a screw through their thumb? That was my left hand. I then pushed a nail through my right thumb. I am very talented! I did manage to fix 2 walls, and the roof should be easy enough. If I can find boards that will work for doors, I will be all done within an hour. I am so proud of my coop! I had wanted a slanted roof, but that can be a "later" thing. I saw so many pre-made coops with flat roofs, I stopped worrying about it.

OUCH McC.

Barred Hollands are good Broodys, but hard to find. I've read that Marans are broody, but none of mine have been. My Banty Cochins have been broody.

I have faverolles that are always broody, not sure if it is a breed thing but 3/3 are broody all year round and raise their clutches together (along with a buff brahma that goes broody with them).

Hello guys, I was wandering around craigslist when I ran across this

I wonder if this person is on BYC...

That is outstanding.

And THIS is why I don't do home/coop improvements. My checkbook works just fine, thank you.

It wasn't all that bad. I was cold, and used snow/ice to stop the bleeding. I didn't really even feel it until I came in the house. By then the initial pain had worn off. I now know to be more careful with the screwdriver. Nails happen. I am proud of screwing my finger.

No comment on how that sounds.

I am itching for a new breed or color of bird. I am considering tolbunt Polish, Citron sebrights or hamburgs, partridge, columbian or blrw, light/cinnamon sussex or another Orpington color (have chocolate, blue and black). Then I am reminded that I am no further on my other projects and stop thinking about a new breed.

I told Mama the other day, the only project I'm working on is Yard Candy. I have a VERY mixed up flock, but my yard sure does look pretty when you drive by!
