Yep that's what I was thinking too. So many neat looking coops posted on here. All mine are open air, most closed is only 1/2 hardware cloth but still pretty much open at that. Mine don't make for pretty pics at all...

Great looking coop but you might want to consider more air flow. It looks HOT.

Anyone have or had a chicken afraid of heights? One of my 9 week old EE's is scared terribly of heights!

I have parrots and fly them outside, and yes, they are afraid of heights when they first learn to fly! I used to live in Saudi Arabia overlooking Old Diriyah, which has mud and stone wall built on the escarpment encircling the fort from the 1700s. I would fly them off the top of the wall and they had to learn to not be afraid flying out into the open. They would fly along the edge, venturing out into the open bit by bit as they gained more experience. I was surprised to find them fearful of heights. It doesn't surprise me that a chick is afraid of falling off a perch.

Do your coops have solid walls or just wire walls?

Where do you live?

Ever hear of Elysian Fields? Itty bitty community southeast-ish of Marshall.

Hi guys! I have 5 gold laced Wyandotte and 2 Wyandotte mixed chicks for sale just north of Houston. Straight run. They hatched July 30. $3 each if anyone is interested. These are not exhibition birds but will make wonderful layers.

One is a chain link (w/ other wire where needed) dog yard 12' x 24' with a roof, one is all hardware cloth (wood frame) with a roof and 1 is 1/2 walls 1/2 hardware cloth with a roof. We use tarps as walls for the rain and cold. Not at all pretty but they do what they need to. Deer netting on the yards which is a pain with all the leaves and stupid snakes that get caught in it...

You get used to it

I think it's funny how in DFW (and other places) so many towns are "people" names. There's Joshua, Justin, Allen, Lucas. Murphy. Aubrey. Melissa, Anna. Celina, Leonard. Savanah, Addison. Then further south there's a Kyle (which is my husband's name).

It wasn't like that where I grew up in Virginia. All of the places ended in burg, town, or ville.

Where did you grow up in Virginia?

Purcellville, near Leesburg. About 10 min from the Maryland border.
