Thx chicknmania
He was my best friend. He built me 12 beautiful coops.
We have been breeding Swedish Flower Hens & Silveruuds Blues.
They have all gone to wonderful homes.
Sadly my hubby the love of my life suddenly died November 17. I had over 100 chickens & too many chicks to count.
I am selling my flock after 5 years. I loved my girls & guts but with winter coming it's just too much.
I hope you guys don't mind if I stick around & pop in from time to time...
Began putting up panels this afternoon. What a great idea!!!! It's going to be a bit expensive but so much easier than messing with the plastic sheeting.
Thanks again Toni
I'm not sure what the permit costs here in Miami county. I checked into it 4 years ago. Like you mentioned it was only good for a certain number of weeks & you basically had to keep the eggs in a refrigerator. I was not interested in going to that expense. I began with a co-op that rented space...
Thus is my layer pen 40+ chickens 2 Roos is 10 X 12 coop & 15 X 30 run.
Next is my SFH breeding pen 8 X 10 coop & 15 X 15 run. 1 roo & 15 girls. 4 breeding pens 4 X 7 coops with 5 X 15 runs. We made remove able walls out of chicken wire & 2x4.
Last is our grow out pen. Coop is 7 X 10 run...
I sell at a small market getting $4 per dozen. I had to call OUSDA they came out checked my storage refrig & I had to have my water tested by the county.
I have to label my eggs with
Name
Address
Phone #
Non graded
cabin I would have to count!
I have a huge layer pen with 40 layers. They pay for my feed & supplies.

I have 1 pen with Silverudd's Blues (isbars)
2 grow out pens.
Getting ready to set up a pen of Silver Ameraucanas.
Small breeding pens 4x7...
Toni I agree about the PDZ on poop boards. I have been using it for 4 years now. I have 12 coops & it only takes a few minutes a day to "scoop the poop". Keeps my coops so much cleaner!
