Chicken black baby crib gif full#
It took me about 3 full days to complete.

I am very pleased with the cost of this project. This project was moderately challenging and overall cost roughly $100. I looked around the homestead and utilized what materials we had available. The basics I wanted to stick to throughout this project were to stay simple and inexpensive. I was then blessed with two donated cribs from two very generous women (thank you!!). I began my hunt for cribs at thrift stores and searching Craigslist, but most were priced higher than I wanted to spend. I saw a picture online of someone who turned a crib into a chicken coop and the Crib to Coop Repurposing project was born. I figured that starting with some type of basic framework for a chicken tractor would be easier for me than to start from scratch. I knew building one myself would be less expensive, but I lack extensive carpentry skills. These girls quickly outgrew their mini-coop and I knew it was time to figure out their permanent residence.Ĭhicken coops and tractors can be ridiculously expensive (see more about this HERE). A black spot composed of soot and butter may adorn the infants forehead and items of iron are placed beneath the infants bed to ward off evil spirits. These beautiful black hens produce a lovely dark chocolate egg. The last batch of chicks we bought were Black Copper Marans. It seems that in a matter of just a few short weeks those fuzzy little balls of “cheeps” are a squawking, ground scratching, bug loving chicken. For those of you that have ever raised chickens, you are well aware of just how fast chicks grow.
