2 Gallon Double Wall Fount

I am in the process of building my coop. Not just ready to buy any chicks or chickens yet as I would like to be a little closer to completion before I do that. Meanwhile I am enjoying looking at the different breeds and checking out the different coops and pens.

This is what I've built so far.

Hello from The Bluegrass State.

Glad you joined us! You will love raising chickens. They can be so much fun. If you plan on getting newly hatched chicks you can get them now. It would be about a month before they are ready to go in the coop.
