Well after weekends, some days and evenings here and there all summer long- the New Chicken Coop/House is done. O.K. back-up....some people might wonder why we needed a new chicken house...the one we had was small but functional...Well...we had around 14 chickens (some have passed since) but anyway...Tom decided that we weren't getting enough eggs for the amount of hens we had...so this spring he ordered some chicks...and a nice lady he knows kept them for us with hers since she had a warm place to keep the chicks....and early this summer we brought them home. We gave some to a friend and so we had a total of 26.....so we were going to need a NEW chick house.
So what we thought would be a fairly quick couple weekend project...turned into way more...but it is now Done --for the most part ;)
