pvc coop will this work?

[Birdie Wife]

I feel I have to speak out in favour of bantams! It does depend on the breed, but my bantams have been the most characterful and beautiful chickens I have had. Some breeds are more flighty than others of course. The eggs are a bit smaller but much better for baking, because there is a bigger yolk compared to the white, and you'll marvel at how golden yellow your pancakes are!

I will go with Birdie Wife and say get banties. They really do have much bigger personalities. We had bantams and light sussex together - the bantams ruled.

its a date! lol, not sure how much brains I've got but would be happy to help you learn by my mistakes.
I would get 3 spekaldys, but if they have warrens get a mix, warrens are much friendlier. but thats just because i'm not a big fan of bantams

The banty I had last year wasn't very friendly, but I'll vouch for hybrid hens being the opposite. Bantam eggs are very tasty though and they are pretty little hens.

If i build a coop out of the plastic tongue and groove will it be strong enough and warm enough for chooks. Thankyou

The guy on the plot next to me has biult one using timber frame, coated with ply then that plastic tongue and groove over the top. Mind you he has also kitted the inside out with lights a kettle and portable tv..

If you want a photo of the thing I will take one for you.

cheers Chris
