I have this
2-1/2" corrugated 26 gauge brown panels. This lot has 9 panels @ 3' and 22 @ 4'.

That's a 2' wide panel. It's enough to do 44' at 4' and 18' at 3'. If you cut and lap them it will probably do it. It's 115.00 + tax (roughly 125.64) and It's 26 ga. better than the market standard of 29 ga. Works out to .55 cents a sq. ft.
Here's a link to our web page about this panel.

I'll txt you tomorrow to see if you want it. DH can come pick it up between 7 and 3 m-f, or I can have it delivered on fridays for 150.00 delivery fee.
Thanks!

I am interested in some of your cheapes stuff. It does not have to be matching. Just need to know how much and how to fetch it.

Whoohoo!! I have welsummer chicks! I love their sweet little chipmunky selves. Haven't done a good head count yet, but it looks heavily female. Yay for that! Had 14 of the 15 hatch so that makes me happy too. I do love having babies in the house again.

Okay - my innocence has been shattered, chewed up and spit out. I love 'country' living and still stand by my belief that if some living creature makes it to my property, they are safe for life. BUT now I have to draw a line at copperheads. After the experience of having 3 dogs bit in one day last week, I went into the chicken yard and found a dead copperhead caught in the webbing of my bird netting - they're going after my chickens. I never thought I'd say this, but after all my research, I would have to kill a copperhead if it came too close to my house or my critters. I know they're part of nature, but they are very dangerous and their bite is very painful, though only infrequently lethal. I could, and have in the past, moved them, but its too great a risk with my 88 yr-old mom, my husband, myself and all the critters. I really hate the thought of having to kill anything — feeling sick.

Copperheads are evil. Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I don't bother them as long as they stay in their space, away from mine. I don't like killing anything either, but if something is dangerous, you have to get rid of it. I never bother the garden snakes; I just relocate them. But copperheads? (shudder). Unless they can look at me and say, "So sorry, didn't mean to trespass! I'll be on my way now." they're going to get the sharp end of a shovel.

Awwww I can't wait to learn more about chickens and get some other breeds. School's got me inundated with math right now.

Have you explained "chicken math" to your professor?

that takes SPECIAL skills to understand chicken math.

like as soon as I sell my backup lavs....the reg lavs tries to pull his leg off.....or is that Murphy law

 

[CityGirlintheCountry]

I think that counts as chicken math, Donna. At least it is why i always seem to have backup roosters around here.
