Ribh's D'Coopage

Me too ~ & they talk back. I think that's the bit the kid has trouble with!

Mine will initiate the conversation as well!

Hey Ribh, how's your new coop holding up against all that rain?

Really well. I doubled over a tablecloth & nailed it up to stop the wind blowing the wet in.

lol My sook, Marlow, likes to sleep cuddled in my arms during winter but if he gets sad or lonely @ night he licks my nose to get me awake so he can tell me all about it! We have issues some nights. I do not appreciated being licked.

I'm so sorry. That is sad.

Thank you, Bob...

A tablecloth... that’s a great idea! I was attempting to put a big curtain in and the gals thought it was a monster ... freak out city!!

I would LOVE that!! But not while I’m asleep... ANYTIME other than when I’m sleeping!!

Ok, I looked @ buying this coop. I liked the idea of the double run ~ so I looked @ reviews. Major bummer. Most people seemed very unhappy with the buy for 2 reasons: 1. the work. Every single piece needed 3 coats of paint before it could be put together & 2. it started to fall apart within 12 months. If you've read the coop discussions on here you know everyone advises NOT to buy prefab. And it's rather expensive.

Having said that I have a FB group [hardly ever on but the occasional goodie turns up] with some guy selling these:$1490~ He's in Brisbane & don't know about transport.https://www.facebook.com/rodney.tay...dti=1692941287436066&hc_location=group_dialog
He will put in a mesh floor too. I know it's a long way from you but might be worth asking OR ~ for the price of the first coop you could probably get a tradie to build exactly what you want. Might be worth it...?

Thanks mate, I'll do a bit more thinking and searching

I'm sorry to be such a downer. They look fantastic & I was sold until I read the reviews. A google search should bring them up.

Good advice is never a downer!
