but will you allow your son to sleep with him when its cold outside? LOL Previous story from way back thread.

No. Lol

I requested Mr T first!! And now I know how I can legally bring him here!!! But you could have a baby of his.

You did know that Mr. T comes with a pair of African Geese, right? It's kinda like buy 1 get 2. And how can you deny a 9 year old his new best friend? Holm and I may have to discuss a custody agreement.

Sorry, there is only 7 eggs that are likely to hatch! I think you can have at least 5! Plus some ducklings later.

Edited to mention that the other two goslings are presents for @duluthralphie

I have a couple muscovy eggs in the bator for Ralphie as well. I think it's great to see how sharing we all are.

Good News from the Kindergarten: She candled a few more eggs, and there are more starters than she thought. Whew.

this is the coop I want to build.
green=feeder
blue=waterer
brown=roosts
yellow= nest boxes
pink(I think)=window
orange =door

I messed up in a few places

but hopefully you can see where the real things are

How big will each section be? I am just going to have one big coop and seperate breeds a couple weeks before I start breeding. Ralph I might have to use your tractor/breeder pen designs. We r going to build two for the two trios of Buckeyes. But I need one for boys and one for girls to keep there feathers nice for shows.

I'm not sure

maybe 8x8 for each pen, so each side would be 16 feet

This coop was used for my geese over the summer. It worked really good.

This was used for a brooder house and PB Cochin and mixed Cochin breeder coop.

And this was a mutt breeding pen and later on a PB Welsummer breeder pen.

I really liked these and am getting the red coop back this spring still.

I had an 8x8 coop. Its perfect for about 15 birds.
