Good luck with your brood they are very cute mine are 3 1/2 and I am still checking on them as often as possible and doing my best to bond with them and then of course I had to get more because 13 wasn't enough

Lord 13+!? Yea I'm in a development and I doubt my neighbors are going to love the four I have now haha! Just keeping my fingers crossed these girls aren't too loud

No worries, I have done that before too. They will most likely be fine.

Thank you! Makes me feel somewhat less incompetent. I marked them all so I can see their movement. Hoping they're all ok.

I totally used pallets to make my chicken run! And scrap wood, pallets for the nesting box area!

Wish we had built ours out of pallets, we built it on a trailer to make it mobile. But the contractor we hired at first got the wood mixed up at the house and used pressure treated! For the frame and now it's heavy as can be! We ended up finishing it ourselves after he spent three weeks building a partial frame (which we had to redo some because it turns out he doesn't know what was doing). That's the breaks I suppose. It allowed my husband and myself to learn from my dad how to build a chicken coop so I guess there's a silver lining

Still working on getting my coop finished, but it's all pallet

Cost me a little gas, a little labor, and a few tasty brew

until we got stuff for the roof we had only spent 30 dollars, but my hubby wanted to get new everything for the roof to make sure it was good and would last

Good news! Keith has off tomorrow so we'll finally get cracking on the coop!

 

[rodewarrior]

I have a neighbor who is a roofer so, he hasn't decided whether the coop will get Mantel or shingled roo covering. Either way for the price of a free tasty brew, and some eggs down the road - I'm sure the chicks won't really care either.
