Title: For sigula
Post by: greenacres on February 22, 2013, 08:29:19 PM
sigula posted in the wrong place. He wanted know about his chicken coop. Hopefully he'll see this and write the rest. He inherited a farm last year after he returned from the service.

Not an antique but with country and city folk getting into backyard chickens,, selling it should be no problem !!  How big is it ??  Might even make a country style wine rack with a bit of alteration !!  That would be a neat selling point !!  Former hens nest,, now repurposed wine rack !!
And welcome to the group !!

Holes are generally smaller than they look !!  For country style,, doesn`t have to be perfect !!  Thats the charm of it !!

When is a small hole not a small hole...when its a big hole....and they are big holes...how else would a fat arsed chicken get in if it was,nt a big hole...a 750ml plonk bottle is 4in in dia at the base....they,d have to be Chinese Quails to fit wee holes....these holes are big...take my word for it.... ;D

I have no doubt, before i was a city gent...I too was brought up on a farm in the 50,s where i watched my late father..cook a hedgehog in a ball of clay that he put in a fire pit...yummy..but at no time did he have to go around stuffing the chickens in holes that were a tad too small...mind you you could always stick its head in then whack it in the arse with a mallet...then it would,nt matter how small the hole was... ;D

Jeez guys this is more of an active forum than I thought. Sorry for the late reply, my boys and I have taken advantage of the snow here in the mid-west. I guess the back round on this is that I recently separated from active duty and returned to my family's farm as the care taker. I have plans to take down some buildings but I don't want to waste anything. I was inquiring about a fair price to sell this at and what is the dang name of this? Thanks in advance for any insight you might be able to share.

We still have chickens, and I would call it a "15 hole metal nesting box". I'm thinking a new one is close to $200.
