Haven't posted any construction photos for a few weeks. For the most part it's done. Still need to rework the roost/poop board and put in the external nest boxes. Warmer weather is here so I can lock the girls out of the coop and get these things done. got my first egg Friday..Sat two and today three....whoooppeee. the girls are all very happy and a total blast. Roxie the Barred Rock in the flock was (what seemed) on the bottom of the pecking order. She is now the friendliest, hangs out with Lucy the smaller BSL and Jade the smallest BA. The three of them are the friendliest and are all laying!!!!!
Heres the inside with temp nest boxes/roost and poop board, as you can see poop board works
First day out
Gate into run
Under the run....dust bath with sand/DE, tupperware grit server, board with non-skid wrapped around it for beaks (they love it) Gangplank is covered in roofing shingle pieces (also for beaks...they love it)
Roxie, first to lay and a sweetheart (though a bit of a whiner)
