One of ours pops her head off to the side and she hauls full bore across a section of the yard LOL. And then they sound like little elephants with their feet pounding the ground! <3

Good point! And if you do build, use treated wood for the bottom plate of the walls because it will get wet and it will get pooped on. There are plenty of free shed plans on the web that can easily be adapted to be a coop.
And if at all possible, have a coop you can stand up in or otherwise be able to stand up while cleaning. It gets really wearisome really fast when you have to bend over and hunch down to clean the coop.
what is a roll out nest box? I need a visual. I am starting to transition all my coops to be on stilts for muddy season, but I hadn't solved the dirty egg problem. Would love to see a pic.
Or a Donkey! I am planning on getting a Goat and Donkey.
I agree with you, chickens are addicting! You get two and say that enough, I don't need anyone. Then before you know it, you're coming home with another chick!That straight run = mostly cockerels (for my dad)
That chickens are addicting (for me )
That chickens only laid one egg a day each, if even that... Cartoons distorted this thought...
And more I'll think of later...
That's one I learned early on and eliminated early on!! Buckets with nipples are our friends!!! My newly hatched or purchased chicks use vertical ones and when they get a little stronger they are switched to horizontal ones.I wish I knew how hard you try and do everything you can think of, items you buy to prevent the problem, there is always going to be bedding in their water bowl. *sigh*
I wish I had known how hard it would be not to rush out and start getting babies when I see Blooie's babies in photos.
