    As they get bigger the odor gets >stronger<

    I remember the cuteness wearing off one hot humid morning and modifying a dog house the best I could that night after work with drop lights.

    Ours are doing well. Feathers coming in, size increasing quickly, kids still enjoying them. I am thinking on different coop ideas. But tractor supply has one on sale now for 6-8 birds for $199. Hard to justify spending the time building one. A couple of adjustments to it and a base of pressure treated board and good to go.

    Those two chicken coops will make you real popular with Mrs. Gasifier.
