BC- that's cool! It is a very cute coop.

...PB and Jelly. I'd love that. You said you are in ramsey? Or nowthen? No roosters allowed in Ramsey I believe...

We're in Nowthen (just barely).

So I saw this today on Fresh eggs daily's feed on Facebook. I don't think I'm an architect. But I'm certain it IS rustic. Lol.

Wow.

IS THAT YOUR COOP FEATURED ON THEIR?

Good Morning Chickeners . . . . Been reading your threads. Very fun. BC - I always liked the pictures of your coop - very creative. So remember the tractor coop my dnb made me for a gift and neither the DH or I or us together can budge it? That is the 4 x 8 coop and run that I have mentioned on here. It is parked, and used, for a few birds. Thank heaven I have it to separate Reggie and Copper.
So it needs some work. And I am making plans. And I like that eggplant color because it is the Egg Plant. I may steal that idea. Its not in plain sight of the traffic passing by so the DH may relax and enjoy that I do it more.
I was 'trying' to work on my present coop just a little on Friday and got so frustrated because of the tools my general contractor DH gives me to use simply do not work. After asking, after discussing, after trying diligently to be a good wife with terrible tools I went to Home depot on Saturday night and purchase a Ryobi kits with a drill, circular saw, and reciprocating saw along with a flash light. Those screws I was trying to insert on Friday zipped right in on Sunday!

And Rosie - - - she has two chicks at this time - another hatched yesterday but had a hard time hatching. The egg was drying out and I applied a little warm water to soften it up again. but I found her alive later on - still wet - in another part of the nest. I think Rosie booted her out and she was so cold. I warmed her up, put her back under mama only to find her out again later. I figured that something must be wrong with her and let nature take its course. I just do not have the time nor the space to raise one chickie, assuming that she could make it, alone. I feel like a murderer

Grats BC on being recognized as a National Coop designer!!!



Good luck on the Chicks Ivie...



My misery continues. I have been trying to get a little done each day. BUT my Mexican Water vacation continues, I have been done so long my back is out now. So it is flexeral and Tramadol for me and walking lie 112 year old...

I went to check on my birds and Neither Judy or my Mother noticed the guinea Gulag which had over 100 birds in it had only 4 left...Something got in and of course the cameras got bumped so noting shows. I am not sure if I will have any birds in a month at this rate. I moved some indoors to assure I keep the breeders. I cannot find a way anything got in, Judy walked around and said she coule not either..BUT I suspect her ability to notice chicken things beings she did not notice 96 missing birds...

I am going to lay another 4 ft piece of hardware cloth around the ground and bottom of the fencing again.


I am wondering if something is climbing the fence and going in through the netting on top. Very frustrating..

My Cream Legbar rooster had a limp when I looked at him, Untreated Bumblefoot... So I started treating him last night. He is inside now too.

I just wanted to say Hi, I am sounding too much like a downer to be allowed to type longer!..Have a good one..
