I have a custom built walk in chicken coop I need gone. It can house up to 10 chickens as long as they have room to run. Floor is tiled with a drain for easy cleaning, Outside nest box access with three nest boxes, with a food storage area or a fourth nest box.

It will need to be disassembled to move. I am asking $100 however it is easily worth a lot more but I want it gone.

Hey Farmin Momma, that's a great deal! I have access to a flatbed, I also happen to work in Kent.... lemme know if I can help!

Someone in Auburn is selling the same coop we have. We love our little coop - and I know some of you have asked about it. I'm almost positive this coop was built by the same guy who built ours. He changes each one he builds a little bit. This one looks to be finished. We paid $300 for an unpainted , unroofed coop, so this looks like a pretty good deal since you wouldn't have to go through all that. The guy is a cabinet maker and builds these coops solid with thick cabinetry wood.

If anyone gets the one above, and wants details on how to build the run the way we built ours, let me know. I'd be happy to share. We modified our interior from this one a bit to make it suitable for Drama - but it was an easy modification. And, we also upgraded the hardware on ours and secured every inch of it with hardware cloth.

This is ours...

A bit of gun humor for you................
http://backwoodshome.com/nl/nl1210.html




An old prospector shuffled into the town of El Indio, Texas, leading a tired old mule.

The old man headed straight for the only saloon in town, to clear his parched throat.

He walked up to the saloon and tied his old mule to the hitch rail.

As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.

The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, "Hey old man, can you dance?"

The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No son, I don't dance...never really wanted to"

A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, "Well, you old fool, you're gonna dance now!" and started shooting at the old man's feet.

The old prospector, not wanting to get a toe blown off, started hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet.

Everybody standing around was laughing.

When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.

The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled 12 gauge shotgun and cocked both hammers.

The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air. The crowd stopped laughing immediately.

The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly.

The silence was deafening. The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping holes of those twin 12-gauge barrels.

The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old man's hands, as he quietly said, "Son, have you ever kissed a mule's ***?"

The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "No, sir... but....I've always wanted to."



There are a few lessons for all of us here:

Don't be arrogant.
Don't waste ammunition.
Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are.
Always make sure you know who is in control.
And finally...don't screw around with old folks; they didn't get old by being stupid.
