Hi everyone! My name is Jessie and me and my fiancé Kody just finished up our new coop and I thought Id join the community finally since I visit here so often. So a quick little info on everything, we had a old 30+ yr old shed on the property that we weren't using. After begging my fiancé to not tare it down I was able to convince him to turn it into a chicken coop. After a lot of hard work on both our parts I think it turned out pretty nice
We still plan on doing some final touches. Please ignore temporary branches lol we were still working on it in the picture
It's 64sq ft and 16 ft tall inside, 6 nesting boxes and with a 100 sq ft run outside. We currently have a little starter flock we picked up at the local feed store that consist of 1 silver laced Wyandotte, 3 golden lace Wyandotte, 1 ameraucana, 1 bronze turkey hen and 1 guinea .
Non chicken related we also have 1 Juliana Pig (Penelope), 1 chocolate lab (Sadie) and 1 blue Great Dane (Chloe).
Growing up I spent a lot of my childhood at my grandparents. They had a huge garden, chickens, ducks, cows and horses. They always put us to work helping sow and harvest the garden, canning the produce, taking care of the animals, etc. My grandparents lived a lot off the land and all meals were homemade and made from scratch. It made such a positive impact on my childhood I wanted to carry on the tradition with my child and future husband. I know there are a lot of new fancy gadgets out now for raising chickens and growing a garden but they say if it ain't broke.... don't fix it. So I'm going to attempt to follow in my grandparents steps as closely as possible.
Wish me luck!
