This chicken is a little over two months old. It was sold to me as an Americauna pullet. I'm thinking that the tail feathers are looking really long. Might be just disporportional, but others I've seen have very short tails at this age.

Finished product, the girls love it.

Almost done!!

Update: the roof is on!!

Walls are up!!!

Finally got some real work done on the coop. All four walls framed and ready to go up. Need to level foundation cinder blocks tomorrow and raise the walls. Double windows wall Nest box wall Door wall (Laying in front of another and on its side) Single window and Chicken door wall...

This might take me a few weeks to get done. Picked up a shipping crate and I'm in the process of converting it. I'm wanting several windows, full sized door, and a nesting box. Taking a little from another build on here but I'm going to do a shingled roof because I think it will hold up better...

So far they are acting really good without any problems. Very happy with them! They are really loving the mama heating pad.

Well, got my Meyer chicks today and I'm thrilled. Buff Orphington - Poppy Blue laced Wyandotte - Violet Delaware - Lily Golden laced Wyandotte - Aster Welsummer - Dandylion Barred Rock - Daisy and their extra I'm guessing is a Rhode Island red - Rose. I'm doing the heating pad method...
