Playhouse conversion

[MHF]

A friend was going to take an old wooden playhouse to the dump, so I had him dump it at my place. Using scrap and new wood, I lined the inside, put a nesting box on the outside, added a roosting area and put on a door. The run is a dog kennel that I already had andI bought a solar fence charger. I will put on a second coat of primer and then give it a final coat of cannery yelllow.
Picked the pullets up on Saturday from Shook Poultry, 6 Gold Comets.

Thanks

Have only had them a couple of days and they don't have a problem with me picking them up and holding them.

The first night we had them, after I closed up the coop, I turned the GSD out and he went over to investegate and got bit by the electric fence and now won't go with in 20 feet of the place.

love you coop and run. Only concern for me would be no lip on the nests to prevent eggs rolling out * at least thats what I'm seeing*. Great job!

Oh man, my chickens would be so jealous of your chickens if they saw this!
