    Coop build, getting close to finished!

    Not currently, the only scenario I can see closing windows would be during the winter. The window wall will be the north side of the coop. During our "cold" weather spells and winter storms I'll close the windows to cut down on drafts, and may decide I need to cut those openings high up after...

    Coop build, getting close to finished!

    Not as of now. I'm in North Texas, sort of thinking the front opening (4 ft wide and 5 ft tall) should be adequate for ventilation, no? There will be no door there, it will be completely open 100% of the time. The windows also open completely, so those will be open most of the time as well. If...

    Coop build, getting close to finished!

    Thought I'd dump some pictures of the coop build. It is an 8x4 coop, the front opening is 4 feet wide. I left a two foot wall on each side to shelter the nest box on one side, thinking I'll add a roost bar on the other side and then a few more along the rear wall directly across from the...

    bielefelder?

    I know for sure he's just hatchery quality. We just have chicks year round and we had some bielefelder chick's around a year ago. People around here buy mostly pullets and so we buy sexed birds. Sometimes a Cockrell slips through and if they end up with one they bring him back. After looking...

    showing birds

    Haha freelance was a bad choice of words. Independently hosted was what I was going for. Looks like they're put on by individuals and not the actual association and then they have association certified judges

    showing birds

    Howdy all! I showed turkeys in high school through FFA, but wanted to get into showing some poultry as an out of high school individual. I found the APA, but seems as if their shows are sort of freelance around the country. Any ways to get into shows in my location?

    bielefelder?

    Howdy yall! I work at a feed store and we sell pullets/chicks year round. Sometimes folks bring us roosters. Nobody knows what this guy is but I'm thinking he's a bielefelder. Any thoughts?
