Time-traveling couple with 'historical coop' in New Hampshire!

***NEW UPDATED PHOTOS OF OUR 'HISTORICAL COOP AND RUN'~
Our entry in the coop/run contest.

Hi! We live in NEW HAMPSHIRE~
We are historical reenactors living in a little 240 yr. old house that has been a DIY labor of love to restore for over 17 years. We JUST got chickens for the first time---4 English buff orpingtons, and put up a coop. Always on a tight budget, we do pretty much everything ourselves and have a lot of fun working on our various projects! We had just finished building our own fence of trees we cut down, and had 'tricked out' our purchased coop with period style hardware, 'leaded' windows we did ourselves, and a few other things such as swing-out branch perches we designed and built from branches. Now the coop area blends in nicely with our old New Hampshire house.
My husband thought our fence was reminiscent of the stockade fences at Plimoth Plantation or Jamestown, etc., We had a salvaged-for-free piece of highly-weathered 18thc. board, and a 17thc. 'Brit' flag---since we do that type of reenacting. Hubby has a degree in illustration and design, and is creative and quirky. He said the fence reminded him of an "old fort"...SO...what did we do???
Well, created one, of course! We made our flag pole from a tree we cut down, and hubby hand-painted 'FORT ORPINGTON' in a 17thc. font on the old board, which we affixed to the fence around our coop and run! We think it looks just grand with our 18th century home and fits with the old-time lifestyle we live---(Yes, that is us in the avatar photo, and below in this post!)
You can see our old house and much more about the coop and hens here:

*** JUNE 6---THANK YOU TO BYC for putting our coop photos on FACEBOOK. We are not Facebook members, but someone left a comment saying our coop was too close to the house and what about rodents and pests. In the first place, that is NOT THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE; it is the large, original attached post and beam woodshed. In the second place, I clean our coop/run every single day.

I had already created a coop page before I entered the contest! A manager from this site picked our coop to be featured on the HOME page, and they emailed me with instructions on what to do, and we did it quite awhile ago! Thanks so much for the help~
