Well, you all have been an amazing help. We started six weeks ago with six new baby girls (or so we thought), which had been a dream of mine since I was a little girl tending my grandmas chickens each Summer (and whenever we were there on weekends, which was a lot! Scattering the feed so I could enter the pen and go collect the eggs is a fond memory.) Now we have rebuilt an existing coop that was falling apart, built a run, poop drawer, and roosts, as well as feeder, waterer and boy did that take a long three weekends! My husband was a good sport as I changed, added and request things along the way that seemed to make the project drag on forever! But now all I have to do is some trim painting on the outside and we still need to dig the ground around the run for the skirting, but they are secure and having a great time in their outside digs. Pecking, scratchi at the ground, already chose a spot for their dirt bath and didn’t cry too much when I made them go into the coop for the night. Well, not tooooo much ( broke my heart to hear them cry). I know they are scared but I feel confident that we checked every edge, border and trim for any spot that a anything could get in, it’s pretty predator proof. I am so excited for them. So thanks if you had input, and thanks in advance if you have any in the future!
