NOLA farm
Chirping
Well this is what a joke with my wife turns into. We bought a home last year and lucked out as it came with two lots. We toiled with what to do with our "land" many nights with each other and the kids. What began as a joke has turned into 8 chickens, 10 fruit and citrus tree row (two more to come), 12 or so berry bushes to come, a banana tree patch, and then about 80 feet of fence line with a row of sunflower, corn, and okra. A farm folks, right in the middle of a city. Who could ask for more?
I did install 2 feet of underground metal fabric and locked up the outside with hardware cloth and chicken wire ( hardware on bottom). I have various latches that I use caribeaner rings to lock. If there is something better please let me know!
Enjoy and looking forward to an ever learning process.
framing - total dimension is 7x16 - inner coop is 8x7 - 6 egg nest boxes
oh - LOTS of paint!
roosting benches - currently not used! below is the backside of coop. I later put a door over that hole for clean out purposes and did the same on left side of coop. Above is year round circulation about 18 inches top down and the span of left and back side of coop
the 6 unfinished egg nests
first two girls and an eager boy!
finished egg boxes
drooling dog and two girls that have not figured out the dog can not get in
