My ladies are only 7 weeks but we are looking forward to filling up those nesting boxes lol

That is so cute! Planning on free-ranging them? They'll get bored in that small run space. After a month of keeping two Silkies in a 4x6 pen we had to start free-ranging them. It was ok -- we set up a lot of dog houses, pop-up canopies, tall potted plants, plywood sheets set on cinderblocks, lawn furniture, etc, as snooze/hiding places from aerial predators.

Btw what are everyone's names, feel bad always saying the usernames.

Don't feel bad calling me Meep, I have made and continue to make a deliberate attempt to keep public online identities separate from my offline identity...

Just a personal preference thing that I started doing long ago on dial in BBS forums even before the WWW Internet...

OMG! Someone besides me remembers the days of dial in BBS forums before the Internet. Meep, I think were showing our age.

Quote: I stack mine in the barn against the solid 'kick wall' that separates the animals from the hay, and I then I stretched some 3' tall welded wire fence above the kick wall to stop the llamas and goats from reaching over for snacks...

Sigh Best i got is a roof.... no barn.. The idea was to use the shiping container for feed.... but logisically where we put it... myea... Its still got my furniture in it any way.

WE get nine inches of precipitation per year thats including snow. So I figure I can do a half lean-to and half canvas roof.

I am very new to the whole chicken thing and this is mine in the works. The chickens sleep inside the coop at night and i am wondering if this is big enough for 6 chickens and its size is 6 1/2 feet long and 4 feet from top to bottom.

Me too though I started using deb a while ago.... Its far from my whole name. Thats what I hate about Face book. I seriously dont mind being called Perchie though.

You cant be too careful online. even with the most secure sites. thats why when I ask people where they are located I really prefer they just say their general area.... helps when you try to answer their questions.
