Oh man that bites. Sorry to hear that. They are way too proud of the "labor". Hope it works out ok.

No chickens for me this year. I'm getting hit with a $500+ repair bill for my car. Most of it is labor.

I'm so sorry.... that's got to be heart braking. I hate car trouble!!

They do like to have a "roof" over them so we added a shelf. If you turn them on their sides they are a little taller and you could just put a board over the top so one others poop on top. Which ever way you do it, they work great and are easy to take out a scrub. Out of all the different nest boxes we have they like the crates the best.

Yes, I was going to have them build a shelf to put them on, one row of five and then another row of five under that one. So there will be a board over the top of them. The main reason I went with these is because they will be easy to clean. LOVE IT!!

Thanks!!

It is not in an easy place to get at. It's going to take several hours to fix.

The car trouble is getting piled on top of a new roof in January and new tires (4) in February. This year is VERY expensive for me.

TOTALLY BUMMED!!
I have so much to get done on my coop and I can't get anything done due to having to wait on everyone else. My husband is gone for 2 weeks, my son has been busy all week, so the only other truck I can get my hands on is my mother-in-laws truck and she doesn't think I can pull "that big trailer" around all by my self.

SO, I can't get go the barn siding from my dads or all the wire I need or the posts or the wood or anything else!!! I could get a lot done all by my self if only I could get my supplies!!
THIS JUST BITES!!!

Just spoke to the dealership.  The eliminated all the easy quick things that could be wrong.  Now I get to pay to have a diagnostic done. It will take about an hour for the mechanic to look at everything (hopefully less). It could be the sensor, could be more....

This is not looking good.

Fingers crossed it is not expensive and a quick fix.

Here is a picture of the chicken found in South Austin a couple of days ago. I am thinking about giving it a home. I was hoping it's owner would claim it. It was given to a neighbor, but returned to the finder's home today.
Should I worry about exposing my flock to something? The original post said something about it's beak being broken. I feel bad for the poor thing.

Oh man that was me last year. Every time I turned around it was something. I feel for you!
