A place for members of FARM Davis to discuss FARM Davis business:

The Chicken Coop:

Geoff and I live over in West Davis, and go for walks throughout the neighborhood all the time. We usually go at night, so we never noticed before, but there are LOTS of chicken coops (and chickens) near the "Solar Community"(Village Homes) and Sunwise Co-op. There are lots of different designs/styles, but most seem to have 4 walls, so that might be something to consider. I don't know a whole lot about it, but the bike loop runs right by those gardens if you want to check it out! -laura

-Christina —SexyPianist89


2010-01-21 10:03:15   I think it is supposed to be sunny Saturday and Sunday, so we shouldn't be rained out. But it will probably be MUDDY! Be ready to get dirty! —lauraAsmith


2010-01-21 21:34:09   Hey Christina! Are you joining us on Saturday? no rain I hear! —RobynW


2010-01-23 11:10:05   Yes I will be there —SexyPianist89


2010-01-23 21:50:22   So, it was mentioned: we need a sign. What should it say beyond "FARM"? Our mission statement? —RobynW

  • How big of a sign are we thinking of? if there is space, I think other than the mission statement, something that's inviting would be good too.

2010-02-03 10:08:01   OK, so how did you do that? — start a thread under my post about the sign? I think something that is about 12-18 inches wide and a few feet high would be good. I have access to a laser cutter- it engraves into acrylic. Super cool looking stuff. Then we mount it on four posts, like a national park sign when you read about the history on the side of the road. Here's a photo of the one in San Francisco, when the FARMers were installing it: http://www.thinkdiscussact.org/farm/sign_install.htmlRobynW


2010-02-05 18:07:25   Ooh, a sign would be so nice. Does anyone have hinges for the coop? I'm not sure if we'll get that far tomorrow but it would be great if we did. —sonyacollier

  • What size hinges do you need? –Robyn


2011-10-16 21:47:59   Are you still looking for horse manure? There's free manure at the barn where I work. Check out PTRanch.com for contact details. -Charlotte —chmorr


2011-11-04 20:27:30   Thanks Charlotte! I think we're good on the manure for now, but I know exactly where Pine Trails Ranch is if we need more. The new FARM is on Rd 95- about 1 mile away. —RobynW
