DWayne,
That's a home-brew henhouse. I had some work done on the house and when they pulled up the old subfloor (5/8' ply/particle board) I asked that they be taken out carefully - so I had a half-dozen 4/8 sheets. I ripped one in half, bought some 2x4 for the corner frames (doubled up to be 4x4). The posts are sunk in concrete and the frame is bolted to the posts. Walls are 1/4 inch plywood, as is the roof. A little tin covers the plywood to cut down the weather effects. The coop is enameled wire, 1", it's stronger than chicken wire and keeps out the critters; and that wire covers the sides and the roof - to deter hawks. I'm no carpenter - you can see less than straight lines and a gap here and there. And I just 'made it up as I went along'. Read up on hens, it's not all that hard. We got some advice from friends who keep chickens, and there is a "Backyard Chickens for Dummies" book that is really helpful. We've lost a couple of younger birds to illness, and had to give away a rooster that we didn't know was a rooster when we bought him, but we've been getting about a dozen eggs a week out of four hens, this winter. Can't beat a home-grown fried egg, with a mess of grits, some good bacon, and a biscuit! Good luck with it. Conig |

Thanks Duke. The way our side yard gets sun, I think i could expand that plot from 10' x 30' to 12' x 40' if my wife isn't watching. I got my 3 point hitch today and hope to find the brinly adapter soon. I'm going up to Virginia in early March to get a moldboard plow and disc harrow my brother is giving me. If I can get everything assembled properly it's going to be another fun gardening year.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
