I had been looking at plans online and I couldn't buy the materials for the price they wanted, and it was great for a small coop. It's 12' x 4', an A frame that opens on both ends and in the middle. I had to reinforce the chicken wire against predators and I set it on some ranch panel so animals can't dig under. Overall it works well. On one end there is a shelf for nesting and a heat lamp, and I collect the eggs from there. If this goes well, I'll try raising two chicks next spring.<BR/><BR/>I didn't know about the falconer aspect but that is very interesting! I would love to learn more about that so let me know if you have a blog or photos somewhere.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it weird that for centuries people worked to get off the farm and we work to try and get back to it? I often think about that as I spend my weekends on manual labor fixing fences or something. It's ironic I spent so much on an education so I could avoid manual labor and now I spend all my free time doing farmish manual labor that I love!!Esmaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00299528591050493868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5296556856093753877.post-50621393750837305842008-03-14T08:54:00.000-06:002008-03-14T08:54:00.000-06:00My wife and I say the same thing every day.

Someday I hope to find a way to live a much more simple life away from most people, just my birds and other animals and the mountains!<BR/><BR/>BTW, where did you find plans for that chicken coop, or did you just know how to build one? If I get a place with a little land I'll definitely do something similar.snafu918https://www.blogger.com/profile/06915556741538835834noreply@blogger.com
