The Natural Chicken Keeping thread - OTs welcome!

[Sally8]

thanks for your info! I have been following the Turkeys for 2013 thread, trying to see if it is something that we might be able to try...

This is Chuck. 1/2 Bronze 1/2 Royal Palm. Couldn't fly his way out of a 3 x 5 cardboard box. He struts all day long and drums. I've had to pick him up a couple times and all his hot air hisses out and he's so much smaller. To me they are so useless but gosh, they are fun.
Can I add that he's just a really big chicken so I'm not posting on the wrong thread?

Who wants to give me ideas on which color to paint this shed?

I vote for Barn red with a cool trim color

I hate the color... was thinking about barn red, some kind of green, etc. How 'bout some photos with ideas?

I say barn red. Can't go wrong.

Not sure where the post is asking for color ideas but I like barn red with white trim.
tonight, after work I'll look for other ideas. I have to travel through an area where I think the movie Deliverance was made. Maybe I'll see something. lol

I'm a sucker for soft yellow and white trim. This time of year I crave cheerful sunny colors. It's a small barn. Soft color will not be so jarring.

Quote: My Orpingtons are huge, not an average chicken. The weighed over 10lbs at 7 months old. I have no idea what they weigh now. The male is still growing and has not filled out yet. He makes my huge chickens look positively tiny. I sold Black Foot and have the Blue Orpingtons in the regular coop. I still have mom with her chicks in the Orp pen and will be moving her next week into the general population. I will need the Orps pen for silkie pens. I have not decided exactly how i am making the silkie pens. I ordered 50 BLRW and SLW chicks. They should give me some really nice choices for show. Several girls from WI also want some. I figure I will have a good 20 Wyandotties to choose from and sell the rest later this summer.
