Texas

Cloudy and windy here. Still no rain. I hope we get some. Maybe I should wash my car. I don't wash it due to the drought.

So here are pictures of what we are going to turn into my coop.

As you can see we have a lot to do to critter proof and get it ready. I have tin I am burying all around inside the coop. Going to put it down half the wt of the tin. It's a good thing my husband is very smart and creative when it comes to this kind if stuff. Because we have a lot of work to do.

That coop is huge! I think my house would fit in there. A good part of it at least.

I'm still leaning towards getting the one I posted a couple of days ago.

Does anyone local (new Braunfels area) have polish hatching eggs?

 

[Ms Jellybean]

Found a couple more ideas...

This one - a review talks about keeping silkies in it.

And this one.

Dang! Just noticed the shipping charges.

Edit: There is this one too. It would need new wire, but I have that.

Ok my husband laughs at me. But I gotta ask does anyone else name there favorite hens and roosters or am I the only crazy one?

Almost all my birds have names.
