Nice buffs!

I love my Buffs. I've almost been working on them 3 years now.

they are so precious, they are contagious for sure

I was wondering what everybody's coops look like.

I would like to build another coop this spring. I don't need it very tall. I was thinking something with a lot of floor space that I could divide in half so it has 2 sections. And instead of having doors to clean it out, just have the roof lift up. Then a big run divided in half.

Sun down do you have an extra buff rooster i could buy? I sadly got 2 girls.

I thought I had some pictures but can't find them of two coops that I had made. If this sounds like something you want to see let
me know and I can get you some pics but if you can picture what this looks like,
I had a huge 'box' made that is taller in the back and the roof slopes down. Then the whole roof opens like a car hood.
It is short enough in the front that you can still step into it if you want or jsut lean over it. It wasn't cheap but much better
than buying a big shed.

No, sorry. I won't have any till fall.

Last year I hatched mostly girls and was able to sell off all the extra males in the fall.
