New and improved chicken coop

Are you going to eat the chickens as well as the eggs? I'll bet the children will be trilled getting to play with their dinner. :-]

Nice job. Want to come over. We need a new coop real bad but it needs to be able to hold about 100 or so chickens.

I need some new goat sheds also. I'll supply the beer and pickled pigs feet.

boy, I say boy. (best Foghorn Leghorn I can do) That's some chicken coop! If you want healthy chickens/eggs ditch the floor and put it on wheels. Chickens do much better with rotating ground cover. Kinda like free range chickens but you're moving the range. Good for the ground, good for the chickens. All the Hicks know the difference between free range chickens/eggs, and the stuff at the store. Seriously dude. Try the taste test between factory eggs or meat and that from chickens on the loose. A quick search of Mother Earth News will result in no fewer than 35 million articles on chickens and eggs all repeating the above information. Props to you for going native.

We freerange our chickens but do put them up in a coop at night due to predators. Lots and lots of predators. 4 legged and winged. A chicken tractor would be nice but might be kind of impracticle on our farm. Very steep and rugged terrain.

Looks great Shag. When I was living in Hawai'i everyone had chickens. I kinda miss it. There were even chickens at the church in Keokea where I got married.

I hate the smell.

:)

Tastes good but smells bad..

J.

Yep, smells foul

Fowl :)

Then you aren't cleaning the cage area well. Grab a hose, replace the bedding.

Think of them as a baby's diapers. You don't change it and clean it, it smells like s*it.

Randy

rub it in why don't you. got 2 rugrats in diapers, both have diarrhea....

CONTRACEPTION ?

:'(

We got some yesterday and I'm glad to report we are back "online" with the things that they were bought for. Had to get some more tonight :) Hope they work.

Mine must be defective.... and I think there's a no return clause in small print somewhere in the paperwork :/

=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 CONTRACEPTION ?

Isn't that also called marriage ?

Randy

HA! Up here we have 5 Years on all items meant to last longer than two years.

Even small s**te you buy in the shops we have 30 days return on, no questions asked, all there is needed is the original receipt.

Just wait until you've been married a tad bit longer. I think I've been married 23 years now. Seems longer some days.

Randy

How's the new coop working out by now ?
