We, too, were inspired by Bunny Williams' "Chicken Pavilion" and Heather Bullard's coop...Today was "opening day" for our Ladies (66 of them + 1 majestic rooster) as they entered the grand aviary (30' wide octagonal pen) and the twin coops (12'x12' each)--one for roosting and the other for laying and feeding. The 12 nesting boxes have doors that open on the opposite side so our 11-year old daughter can harvest the eggs. She sells them to neighbors for $3/dozen and hopes to have college paid for in eggs over the next 7 years!<br />It has been a tremendous amount of work, and about $15,000, but it is literally a dream come true!Timothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05490412096991164115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763730258323026627.post-68848972716926872182010-09-30T21:21:10.467-07:002010-09-30T21:21:10.467-07:00Love your house chickens.

I prefer any roosters in my house also look real, but I am fortunate to have some very fine roosters outside in the chicken coops keeping the hens happy, and my happy hens lay a lot of fresh eggs.

To round out your collection you should find a vintage (the newer ones aren't as nice) copy of "The Standard of Perfection."
