    Chicken Coop build…..

    I probably will put in some windows that open with screens, but it’s pretty well ventilated. The roof is ventilated at the ridge and along all the edges where the metal has ribbing that sticks up. I also put a small fan in when needed to keep air moving. The coop is in the shade for a large...

    Chicken Coop build…..

    Worked on some ventilation today and my automatic bird door arrived! Finally no more going out to let them out every morning and shutting them in every night! Also I have one hen laying. It’s been a long wait. Got 10 babies at the end of April. Hatched some along the way after that...

    Awesome! I like the hinged swing out nesting box idea! I still haven’t installed mine yet, may have to consider that. I don’t want them jutting out on the outside so that is an awesome design! Also congrats on the chick. We also incubate. Have hatched 6 silkies and 2 Brahmas successfully. Pretty...

    Probably would make life easier, but I’m trying to be as frugal as possible on the build. That plan will backfire if I burn up my table saw however.

    Working on the run this week. Hope to get all hardware cloth on, maybe the metal roof. Ran out of 2x4’s so I’m ripping old 4x4 fence posts into them. The table saw doesn’t like it much.

    Chicken Coop build…..

    I hear that! My wife, 5 year old son and I have been enjoying their crazy antics and behavior. Funny creatures. Gotta get the run done soon. Had to jump my neighbors fence twice yesterday and get some out of their yard. Embarrassing but they’re cool so it’s ok.

    Chicken Coop build…..

    Nice! Yeah I’ve realized pretty quickly that I’ll never break even or make money. Gonna be eating a boat load of eggs I guess and try to tell myself I’m saving money. Haha. Hoping I can maybe sell $5 dozens and at least cover the food I’m buying them.

    Chicken Coop build…..

    I got 10 Easter eggers, 2 silkies and 2 Brahmas. 60k birds is crazy to me at the moment. I’m doing a lot of work for just 14. How much daily work do you do with the houses?

    Sweet! You sir have a full blown operation! Who do you grow for? As a kid I worked in big houses with my grandfather. He had a de-beaking/vaccination business. I don’t think I’ll ever rise to your level. That’s awesome.

    Chicken Coop build…..

    Dang! 25 is a big flock! I’ll let you know and post more photos. My 14 do have a spot to free range but I live around a fair amount of predators so I’m gonna put them in a run. You’ll have to build pretty big for 25 birds. My coop is 8x6 and run will probably be at least 12x6, maybe bigger.
