Pretty cool!
Chicken Coop - I need your thoughts and ideas.
Very ingenious. The only thing that concerns me about it is, what if a snake gets in there. It's never happened to me but I've heard plenty of stories on here of people reaching in to get eggs and grabbed a snake instead. I think I'd want a little bigger viewing area of what I'm reaching for.
I sure appreciate the thought processes going into your work. You are doing a marvelous job and looks like you are enjoying it too. Can't wait to see pictures of those chickens in there.
LFJ, don't know about other chickens, but my hens killed and ate a snake last year. Not a huge snake, but still. They were squawking and chortling and just the happiest things to have found a snake! My hens must be throw-backs to little dinosaurs or something. They eat mice, too. I was woried about them doing this, but I've been told that other hens do this too. Phewww! Of course mine have a peacock to back them up.
Great Coop and Nesting box, another idea to ponder! Love it!
I just love it when a plan comes together!
Congratulations! Those are some beautiful eggs. What breeds of hens do you have?
3 barred rocks, 2 black australorps, 6 buff sex links all hand raised from Meyers chicks. The next go-round my choice will be all buff sex links.
Who laid the blue/green eggs - or is the color an illusion?
No blue/green. All are considered brown egg layers. I'm am thinking the barred rock hens are laying the lightest colored eggs.
You're probably right. My Barred Rocks lay very light brown eggs.
Very nice!
