Has anyone ever taken any of the classes they offer? I want to learn how to build a chicken coop. I'm serious.

They are easy to make and can be bought finished for 300.00 how many chickens do you want? 4-5? I think BG has one.

Well...it's not actually for chickens. I did something. About three weeks ago I was at Tractor Supply and they had ducklings on clearance. I bought three. I wasn't going to do this again, it just happened. Anyway, I want them to live here at home with me rather than up at the barn so I need something to put them in so they will be safe. It's a pain in the ass taking them back & forth everyday.

Put them in your house. Maybe the garage?

In my defense the squirrel was a baby and lost from his mother. What was I supposed to do, kick him to the curb? He now has me by the balls, so what?

I haven't take any classes at Home Depot or Lowes.

Like Mags said, there are some cool chicken coops for sale that you can have delivered right away, which you'll probably need to assemble according to chicken-scratch instructions anyway.  

There are several nice ones in different styles here for under $200.   https://www.hayneedle.com/pets/chicken-c...&tid=exact

I think they're really cute too. My dad built one kinda like that when my parents had a bunny.

Sadly, Thumper was chased to death by their Irish Setter. We couldn't figure out if the bunny managed to push the door open or if Lucy (the dog) did.

Make sure there's a good latch on your coop.

Yeah that's an easy idea, or maybe even in the oven.       Smiley_emoticons_stumm Smiley_emoticons_skeptisch  hah

Ha Ha.

My neighbor has a duck and they keep him in the fenced backyard during the day and let him in the laundry room at night. They've had him for like six years now. They have a little pond out there and he's as happy as a duck.

Will they have a pond? Or a small pool? Smiley_emoticons_biggrin

The lady up the road from me has chickens and is always trying to give me eggs. I would rather have her legs.

I was getting on the highway yesterday and there are these huge 60ft or more granite walls on either side of the ramp but there must have been 20 squashed squirrels all over the road I still cannot imagine where they came from but they were everywhere.

Are you saying she's a tall drink of water with more legs than a bucket of chicken? Its not every day you see victoria secret models peddling old chicken eggs.
