Hi Steven,
Sounds like you are as talented as always, building and making pens and coops, and other things. Hope you can make your camera work so we can see pictures.

Subject: [CHICKENS-101] Update on the "Rooster Crew" & my new Coop
The "Duck-Father, & the Rooster Mafia" under Capo Charlie are all doing well; planning on adding several Cuckoo-Maran Roos & 5-6 young Buff-Orp's to the Crew; I expect some major conflict for awhile between the current Mafia & the new additions; Charlie may find himself unseated; none of the Roos have had the sand to unseat "Duck-Father Daffy" though; he's one tough Muscovy drake..... I know the Cuckoo's can be tough customer's from previously having them in my flock....
I can add 3 Bantam Roos; but I need to add them a coop or "apartment", & small pen before I do; if they are out free-ranging; I'm not too worried; they are already free-range savvy; but they will need their own home separated from the big roos; I can add them a small area off the new coop.
I figure the Roos can be useful as free-range birds for bug control; once I add som hens; i can keep the roos up for awhile & fatten them up for the freezer....
The Coop-
I started a new coop last week; actually; I "converted" an existing playhouse; into a coop; I dismantled the playhouse; & re-assembled it; it previously had NO straight walls or anything; it still has one slanted wall; but it's no biggie.....
Nice big walk in coop; apx 8w'x4d'x6'h slanted roof; currently covered with a nice tarp; will post pics if i can ever get my camera to work...
