Here is a coop my boys and I constructed in just a few days using free materials from Craigslist. I had to purchase the wheels and hardware cloth. We added a couple of Barred Rock hens this weekend and are on the lookout for about 3 more hens. More

Here is Charlie, our irritated Wheaton Terrier admiring the chickens...too bad the invisible fence is holding him back from admiring them up close

Free range? Yea or nay?
Have you ever wondered how a hen can lay an egg every day?

Looks like it will do the job.  Glad the Boys played a major part in building it.  Great life experience for them.  Have a great day. :-)

Looks amazing. Making something out of reusable wood makes a whole lot more fun making something out of old material into a new masterpiece.
