This is what I wish I had done, but I had no idea what it would grow into when I started. Speaking of that, guess what I just found...pics of my first coop and chickens ever

Most of you guys have seen my setup. Back yard full with 7 pens and 130 chickens, give or take a few. Remember I told you the green silkie coop with the pink shutters was my original coop? The entire operation? Here is that coop, 6 years ago, with pullet pics of Lizzie, Maude, Nell, and Susan. Almost brings a tear to my eye:





I can't believe it, my original girls. Nell, the last of the originals, died last year
That coop is now home to about 30 silkies

Wow!

Just a thought, but instead of several small coops have you looked into a breeder pen setup? Like one long coop divided into several with adjoining runs from the back side? I like the concept but runs are usually smaller than I personally like for lf, but think it'd be great for bantams... if you can get free pallets I know an awesome setup to look at too...

I have so much more I want to say about the steak...

I'd like to see those plans.

You betcha!!

So keeping my

that these 3 Araucana eggs hatch... pulled a lot of clears, knew there'd be a bunch due to molting...

Oh, to be naive to chicken math... think we all fell victim there, lol... cute coop...

This is in DMRippy's siggy, she shows a full step by step setup... love these, but even she admits later that she wished the runs were bigger... Also, for taking apart pallets, I recommend using a sawzall on the nails... good metal or wood/nails blades too, not the cheap ones... https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/594825/my-new-breeding-pens

Wwwwwwwwhat are you doing here?

Visiting me... go away, Mr. Jealous...

I will never, ever, not ever, never, ever again attempt to disassemble a pallet with a hammer
