New coop!

Yesterday was a great day for the chickens!  Lindsey and I finally found some time to do some much needed updates on the movable coop.  We strengthened the frame, made better roosts to fix the falling down ones and best of all, put some beautiful new wheels on it so we hopefully should no longer have to be giving ourselves hernias moving in every day!  Tonight will be the test run of moving it with all 200+lbs of birds in there!


We're working on it. You see the planter wheels we had attached on the back of the coop (which for some reason I never took pictures of...) are lying there on the driveway in front of the shop along with the metal nesting box that had no back and wouldn't keep straw in the boxes. Needless to say the chickens hated it...



Here we are all done for the day! More changes to come Labor Day weekend, but better roosts, a MUCH nicer homemade nesting box, and a MUCH MUCH better wheel system!!

hello!

Hey everyone!  Just giving a new chicken site a try.  Come back for more later!
