Don't laugh- I know it's really dorky (some 2x4's are facing the wrong way), but the two hours we spent building today went by real fast. I can't call it a "coop" yet, cuz technically the coop isn't in the "run" yet. See how much I've learned .
The first two pictures were taken after the chicken coop party. Thanks to all who came, even in the crappy weather. Today, Andrew (my nephew) and I added more supports (framing), extra posts to keep neighbors dogs from being too interested and a place for a door. I'm ready to put the hardware cloth (a strong chick wire) on tomorrow or Sunday. The hardest thing will be building the door. I don't know how, but I'll figure it out as I go along. Will buy 3 or 4 chicks this weekend too- cuz if I don't, I'll never get around to finishing the damn thing .
Thanks to Joe, Chunshik and Dejah for the re-design. The chickens will now have a lot more space AND access to real live plants and grubs (thanks to some old rotting tree trunks). Thanks to CHUNSHIK for the electric saw. It rocks!!!! Jen
