Condolences to his family and friends. Although I had never met in person, phone and email only, you could tell what a special person he was. We lost a special person today.

They are 6' wide, 7' tall and 15'3" long. Wire gaps are about 3". Will need some fixing but will work great! And cheaper than the dog kennels I was considering.

I don't know if this will help, but I am building a chicken barn out of these. They are shipping cages that I found on craigslist. I bought 6. Placed 6' apart(3 on each side) I can make myself a feed room and hatch/brooder  room, extra pens, whatever. Also will have a covered breezeway between. Can't wait to get it finished!

Thank you Gordon! I cannot wait to get going with my new flock! (And to get out of the Phoenix heat!) It is so beautiful out there with trees and everything. We don't have many of those here. I learned a lot with breeding the last 3 years. Still have all my notes and records of my successes and failures. Looking forward to hearing the little peeps and the cockerels singing in the morning.

Good luck at the meet in October! Keep us posted please, I am living vicariously through you right now!

Thanks Don! I don't want to close the coops completely, but want to make sure they are warm enough. I have been told it snows quite frequently (we will be at 5600') but rarely stays around for more than a day or 2. Any input from folks that live in the north?

One more question! (For now! lol) I am from the Phoenix area. Where we are moving, it snows at times. They will have an indoor coop area, anything else I could do to keep them warm? No heat lamps! Too scared of fire.

Thanks Don! I will take into consideration all of your suggestions. We shouldn't have much problems, we have a lot of big dogs, but I want to make sure the birds are safe. I saw my first mountain lion in the wild while I was visiting the property. Oh my, they are bigger than I thought!

As most of you know, I have not had birds (life happens :( ) in a few months. Boy do I miss them! We will be moving in Oct to Northern, AZ Kingman area. I will have more birds by spring. My worry is predators. Where I previously lived we had snakes, coyotes (although they didn't get on our property!) scorpions, and neighbor dogs. Were we are moving, we have coyotes, bobcat and mountain lion. Over the winter we will be building new pens for the very anticipated new arrivals. My concern is their safety. Any suggestions on what materials to use? I have never had to deal with these predators before, and just want to make sure that my babies will be locked up like Fort Knox! Thank you!

I have faith that this will be resolved. Not many points, but they are my first ones! I appreciate all the hard work that goes into this. Thanks Ernie, for the suggestion! I will get show reports and bring them along!
