Computers, Coops and Chicks
Saturday, March 30, 2013 20:56
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Things have been pretty busy
this last week. Lots of computer issues that finally got resolved. There was a
problem with myISP for several days but that’s fixed now that the
server of myISP is working properly. Mrs. RW also has quite a few
new additions to the flock and is going to need a bigger chicken coop. One more
thing on my to do list.
this last week. Lots of computer issues that finally got resolved. There was a

server of my
new additions to the flock and is going to need a bigger chicken coop. One more
thing on my to do list.
This is also going to be a
great project for me to show everyone some tips on building a lightweight but
strong coop for your chickens. There was only enough time to build the coop
gate today. We have a big family get-together planned for Easter Sunday and
there are beans to cook and guns to clean. The plan is to do a little plinking
with the twelve gauge. Now it’s time to get back to the coop building.

The first tip for building a
strong but lightweight chicken coop is to use what I call the sandwich
technique. Simply put, you just sandwich your wire between your boards (1X2′s). This
makes it stronger and there’s less chance of a possum or coon getting in your
coop…which it seems we have more than our share of both. The wire is almost
impossible for them to pull apart when fastened to your framework in this
manner. In this case, I’m using welded wire fabric with the small squares (1/2
inch) to attach to the framework.

I’ll include some later
updates as the coop begins to take shape.
