[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually there are amazing pics of a gorgeous coop designed by an architect in Southern Living this month.  Check it out if you are interested in raising a couple of chickens without the mess.

PPs referencing stinky, gross coops are out of touch.  2-3 chickens are not going to produce the same issues as a chicken farm. Just don't let your hens set and you'll be fine.  Chickens are less work than a dog and much more useful.[/quote]

[b]Again, you are basing your opinion on something you saw in a design magazine! Not reality. All chickens produce chicken shit, which is about 10,000 times more disgusting than dog feces.

Oh, and one question- what are you going to do with those hens when they stop laying? You do know that most chickens lay for 2-3 years, but can live for 6-7, right? How "useful" will they be then? Or will you cut their heads off, clean and pluck them, and serve those stringy old gals for dinner? [/quote]

OP here and I did not write that post about Southern Living coops. That's probably the last place I would look for functionality and durability. I can build my own coop. [b]08:27 what is your obsession about what I will do to them later?? Who really cares? I know exactly what is involved and to suggest I have a romanticized idea of raising chickens is condescending and assumes I have no experience or have not done my research. [/b]I would say you are mistaken on all accounts. I'm thinking the usefulness of this thread is over since it's taken the way to personal attacks and blows to people's class or status-which we all know is OH so important on DCUM. Thanks for all those who were actually helpful. Again, if that coop you described PP was properly secured and they knew what they were doing, chickens would not have been eaten in the first place. The neighborhood "managers" sounds like HOA to me and usually not a place to be raising chickens. I have no HOA, thank goodness. I have NO doubts those same neighbors would be calling about how low I chose to cut my grass.  :P [/quote]

8:27 here. I'd like to know how asking one question = obsession. I do notice that you did not answer it, though.

Have fun, I hope it works out as well as you think it will. [/quote]
