The hen house is ready for da girls! Some of the weekends work.
Paint drying on the Poo & Roost, will be filled with the PDZ stuff everyone seems to be using. Will be placed in front of nest boxes so the girls can see inside.
Looking inside from nest top access door.
Three 12 x 16" condos for the girls.
Not happy about the new watering can, don't think I spilled that much water when I filled it. Coop 4 x 4'
Nest boxes.
Run access door, two latches to keep the Raccoons out.
Moved the coop close to the house so we can keep a close eye on whats going on at first. Later in the season, I'll drag it (Wheel Horse garden tractor) to back of our 2/3rd acre lot.
Had to make the ramp pretty steep to fit, do you thinks it's too steep and I may need to make a switch-back type so I can take some angle out of it?
Thanks for everyone's help, cannot think of a better place to learn what we need to get our backyard chicken setup ready. Now the fun part, chicken (pullets) purchase! We're leaning to a couple easter eggers, a BO, and maybe a Wyandott but we could change our mind once we get a look at sellers flock.
