    My henhouse

    Hi, We have a friend who needed to re-home her hens, so we said yes. She gave us 18 hens a run and a coop, which was far too small. We spent under $300 building this house.

    Our Coop

My husband and I enjoy hunting ... big game, small game, we even enjoy going fishing...

    Building new duck house

    Hi I am in the middle of building a new duck house, what should I use for the roof for a cold winter climate? We were going to use sheet metal but now after doing some research I am not sure if that is a good idea. What would y’all do? We do have strong winds in the winter here. Thank you
