Chicken coop giveaway


  • just entered a giveaway at Mother Earth News to win a chicken coop
  • well, entered 2 contests for chicken coops
  • one is neat, the other one looks a bit odd
  • but they're free for the entering, so who cares?
  • husband is skittish to build one
  • go figure
  • he can build amazing things, but show him screen wire, wood and roofing and he's a bit befuddled
  • the negative at one contest is that they supply the winner with chicks
  • oh my
  • in our city, you can legally have 6 chickens
  • we have five
  • see, sounding like i'm actually going to win
  • well, we're all entering in this house, and since the least one is the only one without an email address, we're entering 9 times
  • should be enough, yes?
  • would be so cool
  • we keep having to bring home larger and larger cardboard boxes
  • would be convenient if chickens were like fish, who only grow large enough to fit their aquarium
  • least that's what i've heard
  • at the rate these birds are growing, i'm hoping the coop contest ends soon!
  • gary's not going to have an option, but to build
  • but as he says, it's like the cobbler's children who go without shoes
  • after a day of making sawdust at the shop, making the same here loses its appeal
  • enjoy your day :)
