Super egg-citing!! :jumpy Have you noticed a decrease in hatching rate with more frequent candling?

Roost on hinges for ease of cleaning First day out in the coop! The brave few that ventured out

Got the fence up and finished the trim! Today we worked a bit on the roost. Should be done with that tomorrow and the chickens should be ready to go out!

*UPDATE* I'm nearly done, folks!! Here A few process photos 😊 The paint color is called "muted lavender" and I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! My neighbor asked if it will glow in the dark... lol 😂 The Vinyl flooring we got for cheap looks super bougie... I may have to hang a chandelier to match the vibe 😂

First Thank you all for your helpful advice!! As you can see the roof, window and door are now installed!! I added fascia boards to the front and back. Next step is painting the siding and then adding the rest of the trim. I also plan on adding linoleum to the floor to help in ease of cleaning.

Update! I forgot to get a photo once we got the purlins up, but the roof is coming along! Tomorrow we are going to get the roof panels and a vapor barrier. Unfortunately the plywood that I used for the roof got caught out in the rain so it got slightly warped, but it will work fine for a coop...

Ahhh thank you so much for the suggestion of ventilation! I was planning on putting in a gable vent, but that is a fantastic suggestion to take out the blocks and put hardware cloth there. The front is facing east and the back is facing west so it should be ok I think for weather? My other...

Thank you! Yes it is expensive! But when I priced out coops that were already made, it would have been 3-4x the price to buy instead of build one...crazy! If you are in Hawaii I bet the roof is the number one priority!! Haha :) thank you for your comment!

Hello fellow chicken lovers! I wanted to document my coop building journey and share with other people who would understand my egg-citement! 😂 I am using 10x10 shed plans that I purchased off of Etsy. I have to preface that I have limited prior building experience, (despite the fact that my...

This looks great! Nice work!

Yes i definitely will!

Wow! Thank you!

What color is this EE chick I got from the Fleet Farm chick bin?? A dilute of some kind?

Hatching is hard work 😴

Interested in 2-3 dozen Cochin bantam eggs. Let me know what you've got! :)

I'll play! But mine didn't travel too terribly far... lol. 45711 to 54703

My guess is 2,345 eggs 😁

I just set 32 eggs on Thursday 3/14! 12 jubilee orpingtons, 6 marans, 6 Olive eggers, 3 BLR Wyandottes, 2 lav orpingtons and 4 extras that the seller sent! This is my first hatch in 6 years so I feel like it's the first time again 😂 I've had some weird temp issues (dropped down to 95° then swung...

I won't be setting any eggs this year I miss calculated originally and I have a batch mid-incubation going right now. I'm so sad!! Good luck everyone!

I LOVE the lavenders!! I'm finally going to be able to start breeding them at the end of this year
