I wish I was better at pulling pallets apart! By the time I get them semi-disassembled, I think the wood might be good for shingles . . . possibly . . . . perhaps for a doll's house. If somebody had a whim for a post-apocalyptic doll's house. Oh well. I can admire. Your's is such a great use...
Oh Man! Do you mind if I just totally copy this coop? I swear I'll name it after you or give you design credit or whatever. (I'd offer you eggs, but . . . well you know . . . . probably that won't impress you very much.) Seriously, this is just what I've been trying to put together in my head...
To aliciasimon:
I'm so sorry for your loss! Of course you miss your Buttercup -- I don't know why but it always seems to hit hardest when the ones with lots of personality leave us. That's been my feeling or experience anyway. I don't think it gets easier ever. And I can empathize with...
I hope your girl is feeling better. She truly is lovely. Change can be really stressful, which is just so hard on on hens. It's lucky that she likes being held. She'll take comfort from your encouragement.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Our first order was in June of 2012 -- and like many who've reviewed, we had problems getting the breeds we wanted -- all on the same date. The shipping cost is steep with My Pet Chicken, and being a beginner, I really didn't relish the idea of integrating different age groups of hens. We...
Lovely! Really Lovely! I would still have to agree with ChemicalchiCkns . . (ChemicalchiCkns?!?!?!) regarding the name ,:>) your coop looks like an Heirloom in the making, destined to pamper many generations of lucky chickens. It has the feel of a favorite spot to hang out and enjoy their happy...
Wow! Lucky Chicks! It has a very relaxing feel to it -- sort of a zen-like hip-spa sorta thing going on there. I'm also wondering: (1) where you got those cool looking nipples, and (2) how did you manage to make the screens removable? Very Nice Coop.
OOOOoooohh. Quch. No way that's any fun. I wish I knew more about how to encourage their sense of safety and discourage the biting thing. Austrolorps are supposed to be pretty smart birds. My two are. They're pretty naughty, certifiable escape artists, the pair of them. I wish I could let them...
What a great use of space! And it looks like it would be easy to keep clean. I like the shape of the roof very much. Did you keep a running total of how much it cost you to build it? Or did I miss that somehow. Anyway, Great tractor!
I'm sure your girls will love it.
Hey Aricisom,
Thanks for the culinary scoop, That's great to know! As the summer wears on, zuccini sort of settles to the bottom of the veggie food chain, or pecking order, or something, so to sp eak.
You almost have to feel sorry for it. Any way I saw this cool idea of a frozen veggie and...
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks they can be pushy. My 2 hens (nearly 2 months old) look a lot like Heckle and Jecky. The larger of the two likes to bite my fingers when I'm closing the pen latch, or fussing with her waterer or feeder. It usually doesn't hurt exactly, but I want to...
