Now you just need a pig for the whole Dr. Seuss ensemble!

Wow.. great work. I like that it's raised and penned-in but my favorite part is that the chickens are free to roam about whenever they feel like. Keep it up!

1 Marans rooster = soup. Or roast 'em butterflied on the charcoal grill -- delicious!

I haven't visited this thread in a while, but here's sort of a little video update on the coop.

It's held out predators well. No problems with raccoons or possums or anything.
Caught a mink in a live trap a while back...

Haha. Starting at 2:50 in the video, the time lapse part. Those chickens are headed underground with that pit they're digging. Mine do the same thing. Once one starts digging, the others join in the fun.
