What is the total number of chickens you'll be housing? We love your blog and it's featured on our latest blogroll..sorry for the delay, as we've intended to have it there for some time now :)Robbynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860870861321231048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419676.post-57872057554973962492008-01-27T18:59:00.000-06:002008-01-27T18:59:00.000-06:00matt, same slabkelli, i hope to be of service.ang,...matt, same slab<BR/><BR/>kelli, i hope to be of service.<BR/><BR/>ang, i think kramer has changed my mind.<BR/><BR/>kramer, thanks for the comment. we already have rogue hens that are bad to lay elsewhere. i am sure that things would get much worse.Omelayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084221498316008069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419676.post-60548080939624260472008-01-27T12:06:00.000-06:002008-01-27T12:06:00.000-06:00I tried doing the sloping box but I wasn't able to...I tried doing the sloping box but I wasn't able to put any material in them. The problem with free-ranging chickens are they aren't forced to lay in the boxes. Mine would find other places that had more nesting type material, hay bales, grass clippings, under plants, etc. Then I would have to try and find where they may have laid them each day making it very difficult to find sometimes. I had to put nesting material back in and eventually went back to old fashioned nesting boxes. If yours work, please let me know how you got them to lay in them. Good luck in your coop building. I have changed mine a little each time I build a new one so hopefully you get yours just right the first time.Kramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03390734722041024250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419676.post-87893828187526011772008-01-26T21:39:00.000-06:002008-01-26T21:39:00.000-06:00How will those nest boxes work?

Can't wait to see the progress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419676.post-7605279534550363472008-01-26T16:30:00.000-06:002008-01-26T16:30:00.000-06:00Thanks for sharing!

And the new coop is sitting next to another slab where the cabana and hot tub you're gonna build for me will sit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
