LOL do you know any other women who see trash and think YES! I need that?! LMAO owning chickens makes you look at everything with new eyes.

Found a fun deal I wanted to share. Allposters.com has many awesome chicken pictures, several on sale for less than $5. Plus there is free shipping on any $14.99 purchase. Use coupon code UGETFS. If you just get the prints and not the expensive framing, you could easily get 2 or 3 pics for $15. I think this one is really cute and it's only $4. I found the chickens under the animals - wild animals - birds category

strange since chickens are long removed from the wild.

edited to add, I ordered from this place several years ago and was happy with the quality and customer service... I assume it's still the same.

I also have a pile of fiberglass corigated sheets I have my eye on...... Just not sure it is worth it, it is not the clear stuff from years ago it is grey like tin roofing.....HHR is going to haul it home soon it would make great roofing for a new coop when I start hatching eggs LOL

:hit That 4 letter word is tabu to me. As much of it I shoveled last year I don't want to see anymore for a very long time. I want to see a green Christmas. I don't want to see any of that other frozen stuff either. You know....it would be rain but it's frozen................I don't want to say that one either.

Thats how we build most of our pens. DH gets what ever he can get his hands on. We use that fiberglass and tin sheets to cover the wire on the pens in the winter. They get taken off and stacked up for the summer. We got a bunch of wood from tearing down a shed and a barn. Relatives know we have chickens so when they have some wire or something they think we may can use they call us up and ask. We've bought very little to make pens and coops. Even brooders are clear plastic tubs, the large ones that the lids got broken, 20 gallon or larger aquariums we use also and we get any we can get our hands on. They work great for a smaller batch of chicks. We put a screen over the top and attach a heat lamp.

I even make feeders out of empty gallon bleach jugs and gallon icecream buckets. Our nephew inherited a fruit farm and all the supplies where still inside the building. We got lots of the fruit trays to use as insulation inside the coops and pens, wood baskets, lots of bubble wrap. I've managed to use up the bubble wrap.

Oh, I could go on. But there is nothing wrong with using something that somebody else sees as trash. It helps with not filling up the landfills. Recycling.
