Dh has graciously indulged my desire for chickens and has begun the coop building process. DH being a perfectionist and an engineer, everything has to be square and lined up! I kept reminding him that it was a coop for chickens, not the Taj Mahal, and he kept saying that a building is a building, no matter the cause!
Here are some pics of our progress thus far:
The floor is a salvage fiberglass sheathing over plywood.
The roost cage so that they can't peck in their droppings. There is a clean out door on that side wall.
We still have more painting, trim work, the push/pull mechanism for the pop doors (one on either end), windows, roof, vents and the portable run! I get tired just thinking about it! But, I can't wait to be done and collect my 6 ISA Brown pullets from a local Amish farm that has 400 pullets! Will post more as we progress! TFL!g.
