    Have TOP

    Chickens like a few things

    A roost

    like to jump ofer fances.

    Straw for the nest - or hay

    Some things like chickens

    Foxes will kill one and haul it off for the family

    Other than that -- it sure do look good

    Raccons like to kill em all just for the fun of it.

    I'm thinking that "the girls" are going to like their new condo!

    Nice work Kevin.. My BIL, who fortunately for him lives outside Atlanta has one similar and his kids love their chickens. Now I don't suppose you got a grant from the University of SW Louisiana to build that did you?

    Sarge..

    Them politicians can get fancy and change names but.. if they try to change Ragin' Cajun's then it means war on politician which ain't a bad idea even if they don't try to change it. Some things are just meant to be and should be left alone.

    Regards...

    Sarge..

    I didn't really consider it woodworking--more like "building stuff", but since we are posting chicken coops I'll add mine.

    Nice coops but where are the birds?

    We have a total of 38 Chickens, I will get a few pics of their new digs but in the mean time I have a few of the coop I built last year when we only had 20 birds.
    Its my wifes hoby and the kids love it!







    It was in the horse shelter we built out of cedar posts a few years back:



    My youngest with Nilla on her head LOL LOL.



    We have since modified a free camper to convert to a chicken condo and put the old coop under the cab-over part...



    I'll have to get some pics of the thing as it is today. about as red-neck as it gets

    Oh, and a few birds
