I had to take a second look at your Avatar - I first thought it was a big, grey sheep! That is one HUGE chicken!

I don't want to be sitting here talking to myself; that's JB's job!

Goodnight all! (Or should I say Good Morning since that is likely when you will be reading)

except for those of us still sitting at the computer -- a bit on the late side but the chicks are still chirping in the bathroom --- pleasant music

Nice coop! What areyou going to do to the ground in the run? When I could no longer move my chicken tractor due to the weather, I piled woodchip about 6" deep and set the run on top of that. I thought it would keep clean, but the darn hens scratch everything up so much, that it did not take long for it to become a muddy mess. Even though the run was covered, enough water ran through with the squalls that come through up here that it was just days before everything was mud. Now the new covered run is where my kids had their old play-set. It is also on about 5" of woodchip, but under the woodchip is a water permeable weed barrier, and even with all their digging and
scratching, the hens so far have not managed to tear through it. We did woodchip only so we would not need to go out and buy anything. When this gets nasty (and I have piles of wood chip to use), I will replace it with sand - I'm a bit worried about getting mites in the woodchip.

Thank you!There was a tme when we actually had more grass in the back yard, then we got our active golden retriever and the constant play and ball chasing wore the grass away. No matter, I know the chickens would gave made short work of any grass left anyway. From what ive been reading so far, I'm leaning toward all purpose sand in the run hopefully to keep it a little cleaner. Had orinally thought straw, but I don't think that will be enough in that area.

There may be quite a wait to get him out here for the BYC contest; he has something like 9,996 likes on FB! That might be too many people touching him! Definately cuter than the BYC chick!

Sorry to burst everyones bubble but the guy has a cute face and thats about it. IMHO. Needs some upper body workouts if the shirt off pic is him and some abbs. I'm not usually a critical person but you guys are ogling way too much. Face, ya. Body, no. But have to agree, definately cuter than the BYC Tudy.

I got a look at the picture of the guy without the shirt, and that is a different guy. Tudy has much darker hair.

Those are so GREAT!!! I gasped when I saw them thinking they were shipping eggs that had been mangled.

She needs to find on of those fancy bakeries to sell them at!

Ditto, I thought they were real too.

Me three or four. I had to study it out, and I am still not quite sold on the fact that they are cupcakes.
