All of us who choose to be stewards of our stock , can and do relate to the pain others feel when one of them passes away . They live on in our memories though don't they. Sorry she 's gone.

1 and 1/4 in. lip to keep mixture of A.P. Sand { home depot concrete section } Sweet PDZ , and Food Grade Diotomatius Earth in poop tray . Fill up about 1 in. Droppings will mostly clump up and you scoop them up with a kitty litter plastic scoop We have used this set up for 3 years now...

I'm with you. Why should't we get attached to our chickens ? After all, what other livestock gives us food without having to sacrifice their lives? I thank my hens every time I collect their eggs. Yes, I talk to chickens. LOL

Just a reminder that a big problem with a super insulated heated space and warm bodied hens is moisture buildup. Please for their well being thru the cold winter make sure your coop is well ventilated. Congrats on the build it looks comfy!

We used 3 inch exterior tork head screws for our coop ( $ 32.00 here in Wy. for 5 lbs.) Gets every thing drawn up much tighter and easy to remove in the future come expansion time .

Privilege to do so . All the LORD'S living things are important and deserving of His help .

Thanks for the update . You are with out a doubt admirable stewards of your flock .

No not at all. Just got our wires crossed. Sorry.

Sarah on behalf of "Dottie" thank you. Those who don"t have "small dinosaurs" have trouble realizing the bonds their caretakers have with them. It's strong.

Congradulations on the new home and welcome back to BYC. Also more important THANK YOU to you and your family for your Military service. I built my girls coop based on the Whichita Cabin design (plans available thru BYC). I modified it some making the footprint 14'x6' and using corrigated...

Slice of sharp white cheddar melted on whole grain white toast topped with a fried egg. Now that is a satisfying breakfast.

Good morning from Wyoming. I don't know but at the least I would rough up any painted surfaces to increase the adhesion factor. The waterproof is a little on the thick side and takes a couple of days to cure here and our climate is fairly dry .

Great to hear :celebrate I would recommend sealing the floor though with a good exterior water proofing. I sealed the interior of our girls sleeping quarters with BEHR Premium transparent water proofing wood finish 2 years ago and it still looks new and has never bothered them. Good luck!

Welcome to our little group. Used to build hand peeled Log homes so I can relate to you about our bodies loosing strength. Take ur easy.:thumbsup

Thank you
