[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 839307, member: 9169"] Please post a pic when you get done, sounds like it's gonna be a nice little project. If it does in fact end up 8 X 10, your wife could have about 20 birds. I assume she is buying started pullets, since you don't mention building a brooder to raise chicks. Your eggs will cost more, but they really are better tasting and a lot fresher than the ones from the store. If you don't have varmint or dog issues, let them free range and work down your insect population. They will even kill small snakes, toads, etc. We let ours out in the morning, close up the shed when they go back in to roost at dusk, so they can eat free as much as possible. [/QUOTE]
