What do you all think of this chicken coop? I found it online and it's sold through Amazon with free shipping.

They are fine but not too predator proof. You have to do some modification for that

chicka, that looks good for about 3 hens. I'd make sure to put down a pen skirt.

Ya I am sure I would have to add wire to the bottom of it. Thanks Clue and Ron.

DH got me a smaller version for Christmas. I love it and use it for a brooder or grow out pen. He told me if I could find one with good reviews and reasonable he'd buy it for me. I found this one and one of the reviews said they were going to return it because it was advertised as being solid wood and when they opened the box they smelled cedar.

I mean DUH!

When I set mine up, it's either in our hobby room as a brooder, in the coop as a grow out pen.

If I set it up outside, it would be in my hot wired run and I would put it under a tarp and on top of a platformed floor to prevent dig ins.

Otherwise, mine works great for what I use it for so I'd say go for it.

Definitely needs a bottom. I had some significant heartbreak over my tractor when something burrowed under it at night and ate my babies.

scg how awful looking a group that way ... I got my tractor free right
had to add a floor Silky use it daytime only... then I put a new door as the one they had was rotted, hardware cloth to the floor solid and added metal roofing to protect in all weather

SCG, I would love a quilt made by you for my mentally handicapped sister. She loves anything with bright colors. No black or grey. Serious. If you have time, and no big hurry. Do you make full size quilts? 300 to 500 dollars. Ive seen some of your work, beautiful! She loves blankets, especially if they have cats or kitty's on them.

 

[superchemicalgirl]

Cyn, I appreciate the offer but I quilt to calm my mental demons, not to make money. If I do find something that mentally inspires around that, I'd be more than happy to make it for your sister, free. That's the rules.

And before anyone else says I do great work let me share what I just finished. Wanted to learn to do some different embroidery designs so I used the opportunity to spiff up the guest bathroom.

SGC you are an angel to make that offer to make a quilt for free.
