You go girl.  If you have the tools, you can do a better job than him anyways!  It just takes longer.

To who ever suggested the Amish style vent:  chimney from floor level to roof, that's a brilliant idea.  I could put in my floor level vent under the perches, and simply put a piece of plywood over the studs on either side of the vent, so the air would draw up through the stud space.  The only draw back to that would be condensation issues... might rot out the siding.  I'll have to do some brainstorming with hubby on that one.  Or, I could simply put in the vent, and see how it goes.  can always cover it if I don't like it.

I have had EEs go both ways. Some are very flighty, but some are very sweet. I had one that was a prettier bird with a full beard, but the one that looks like yours will stand there and let me pet him. He's just starting to mount the girls, so I'm curious to see what he throws. Mine seriously is colored exactly like your, with the black streaking on the head, the red body, and the green sheen tail. Very pretty

If she's laying age I'd try and sell her as a laying hen, charge $5-15 depending on how well she lays. If no buyers give her away. Someone will take it.

She's about 26 weeks and hasn't laid a single egg yet, I know silkies can be late to lay but my pekins started at 18 weeks so don't even get eggs from her right now.

My EE roo is a good boy too. I hope my girls like him when they meet him.

I'm not ignoring your issues, but we only get below freezing 2 or 3 days a year, so I have nothing to add

In a way, cause now I can do it the right way. He said to me the other day, "My daddy said a good carpenter can cover all his mistakes." My reply, "A good carpenter plans and doesn't make them." But I have problem letting things go sometimes. Sc
