This will be listed on my local Craigslist in a day or so with an increased price of $200.00. If a BYC member sees it there also be sure to tell me your a BYC member to get the reduced BYC price of $150.00.

Too bad you didn't live closer to Ohio. I have a pretty nice 8x16 shed that I listed pretty cheap in the "everything else buy/sell/trade" that would make an excellent coop for someone. I agree with the pallets if you can find them. I have seen some pretty nice coops from pallets. Good luck...

Got any friends with a flatbed tow truck? Also forgot to add in the original post that there is a bonanza of lumber in the loft area that goes with it. There is plenty to build nesting boxes and roosts for the new owner. All it really needs is some nails, a window or three, and a fresh coat...

About 35 miles south of Toledo.

My father is making me build him a new shed because this one is too small and doesn't make a good workshop. The new one he wants is the Taj Mahal so this one has to go. I figured I would offer it here to my "Chicken loving family" before offering it to the preditors on craigslist. If I didn't...

Quote: Thanks. I have been lurking every once and a great while, but have been spending most of my time this summer working on a new coop. It's almost done then I will make a page and post some pics. Not to mention updating my other BYC page of Layer's Lodge.

Crossing my fingers for you AK Michelle. Well, my daughter was quite pleased with how things turned out. This was quite a learning experience for both of us about the little tricks of the trade so to speak. Pretty cut throat group of exhibitors, these show folk are. Folks were not too...

Quote: Unfortunately no. Our group is mostly cattle people, non livestock and one chicken person but they show meaties and don't know much about the fancies. Quote: After re-reading your post I thought that is what you meant. Thank you for all of your guidance through all of this. You...

Thanks and Good luck to you too. Post some pics of your birds if you wouldn't mind. Don't forget to let us know how you did at the fair as well.

I used finger nail clippers for the beaks and toenails. The toenails are the same with any dog or cat, just remember to not trim too much and get into the quick. Mine were pretty easy going and I could see the quick pretty easy in the bright sun. For the beak trim I again used the finger nail...

Thank you AK Michelle for calling them pretty. Their appearance is changing rapidly and getting more and more spots each week. I can't wait to see what they look like after their first molt, I hear that is when they really get pretty. Sonoran Silikies I agree about not using the Orange Oil...

Here are the pics of the beaks after trimming. I will put them in groups as to how I was thinking of showing them. If you think I should re-arrange let me know. I'm too much of a noob to answer your question AK Michelle, hope someone else comes along (poultry judges that are members, you know...

Quote: Ask away... Thanks. Here we go. I have trimmed the beaks and toenails and everything went well and I think they look pretty good. I was thinking of putting Cockerel B with Pullet A & B for the Trio entry. Also, putting together Pullets D & E together for the Pullet pair entry and...

I was wanting to trim the beaks but wasn't sure if it would count against her for showing. They are eating fine and I planned on doing it after the show, but I will do it tonight now that I know it won't count against her. I think they will not only look better but feel better. As I...

Wow thanks for the quick replies so far. Keep em coming. Lotzahenz I have a question about leaving Pullet C home. Would it be more of a "no no" for the bit of black in Pullet D's beard or the fewer spots like on Pullet C? Do they give consideration of their age since they are still so young...

We are about a week and a half away from show time and I wanted some feedback from you experienced show folk. My daughter chose to show chickens for her 4H project and we hatched some Mille Fleur d'Uccle eggs we got from wwmicasa1 and they are 18 weeks now. I have never shown a chicken, but...

My favorite veggie. It doesn't get quicker and easier than this, no peeling. I always cut them lengthwise in half and scoop the seeds out with a spoon. Then put them cut side down in a glass baking dish and put about an 1/2 inch water in the dish. Cover tight with plastic wrap and pop them...
