The funniest coop name I ever saw was a friend of mine had a coop and run for roosters only called....."The Cockpit"!

 

[La Casa de Pollo]

Too Funny! If I could only make a sound proof insulated coop for roosters only...and lock them in til about 10 a.m.......lol

Hmmm....I could easily make a coop that is fully dark yet has great ventilation. Only issue is you either have to keep the boys away from the girls or manually place the boys in the dark coop every night.

My quails are maturing. The boys make the best crow haha they sound like a cartoon laser gun. I love the sound they make! The boys are starting to check the girls out, I have not gotten eggs yet but one has been making a nest, so I think it will be soon. They are in a habitat ( like a duplex with one boy on each side with two females each) called "The Quail Ho-Tail". I have to finish painting it and adding the vinyl letters. So we have the main coop/run "La Casa de Pollo", the little coop "La Casita", the "Quail-Ho-tail", now I have to come up with two new names for the SG coop and the Houdan coop. Any clever /silly ideas out there?

Not sure if you want more Spanish themed names buy how about the Houdan Hacienda? (do you speak spanish btw?)

Doing well! They have their own pen, the coop is started. Dwight yells every morning now from 5:15 til 7, over and over, I am sure my neighbors all want to hurt me. I might start putting him in the garage at night....he is great during the rest of the day until bedtime then he lets it loose again but just a few times around 9. So funny though if I come out the patio door, he has to holler at me every time. "yes Dwight, I know you are there. Love you little buddy

"

My SG roo is in the garage every night. He has the most annoying, elongated crow ever. So much for my quiet babies lol That did not last long. We are working on a separate coop/run for the showgirls/silkies too. DH is a busy boy!

The Houdans girls all get along great, they are so cute together. They sleep in a pile at the end of their pen, with a board slanted overhead until their new coop is done...one is a month older and should start laying within the next few weeks. She is getting red. Turns out the one that I had here has the most black plumage, mostly black beard too so her eggs are the ones I have my eye on. She is nice and plump. Slightly taller than the others. I really love them, they run around the yard and just look so pretty....even if they have no clue what it is they are doing lol. They are not great foragers at all....but they are not tearing the grass and flower beds apart so I let them run around quite a bit. Of the two I got from you, the one that has the black hair do is my favorite. She talks to me so much, in just a quiet gurgly voice, very friendly, comes up to the door to say hi every once in a while..she seems amused by different flowers and things she finds in the yard, she checks out everything by cocking her head and trying to see it from a hundred different views lol. Those head feathers are getting pretty long. So far I am really happy with them all they have stayed really healthy so far. Hoping the winter is not too rough for them. The heat did not bother them at all today.

Cannot wait until I start getting eggs

They are definitely my "pets" and the egg production does not matter so much, but I would like to do one small late summer hatch to see what I get. These guys get more attention than anybody though, just because they are so easy to be around.

That lavender Am that had gotten all wet still looking like a girl? I hope so, she was adorable

You hatching anything else or are you done?

I am glad they are still working for you

I wish I had more space for all the breeds I want to work with. I haven't forgotten that I was going to send you the SOP for them. I will get around to it eventually, lol. For the Houdan house, I would think something that sound Arabian. I am not feeling creative at the moment, I am at work

Little lavender girl and the other one that hatched the day you were there are both still looking girly and both so cute! Little sweeties. My Bresse...I think I somehow managed to get a perfect quad! With the rotten luck I have had with everything else, it's about time something went the way it is supposed to. I was supposed to get 18 Bresse eggs about three weeks ago, but the person is sick and now I don't know when/if I will get them. Still waiting on CCL too. More and more I am thinking I can do without the CCL.

Heck ya lol that would be a great invention. Except I wonder if the two boys together would fight :/

saracalderas--Spanish was my major in college But that was a long time ago so it is pretty sketchy now lol. I like the Hacienda. That is a good name!

Que lindo! Te puedo ayudar a practicar lo. Por lo menos escrito. Jaja.
(For those non spanish readers- How nice! I can help you practice it. At least written. Haha)
Anyways, I wish my DH would help me with another coop but he thibks we have plenty of chickens. (Something is wrong with this man!)

 

[saracalderas]

My son got this lil guy from their hatching project at school. Anyone know what he might be? He looks EEish to me but what else? Maybe a little lorp?

Ignore my shirt, yes, its inside out lol. Didn't realize until I was looking at these pictures. Bird brained? Yes, yes I am.

Mine does too. He thinks I have gone mad. But he says if you can't beat 'em join 'em so here we are lol. Es tan genial que puedes hablar español también. Pero usted escribe mucho mejor que yo con seguridad. Ha sido un largo tiempo desde he escrito! Demasiado tiempo jaja!
