Gorgeous coop remodel

Wow. My coop is a functional sturdy thing, but yours is funtional, sturdy, and magazine ready! I love all the signs, and how nice it looks, especially those big sticks you used for a roost.

Thanks! Now I'm really blushing! The whole process felt like swimming upstream in a pile of (literal) turkey manure....there were times I'd stop and look around and think I should just give up. Finally I'm at the fun part so I'm ready to celebrate!

The branches are my favourite too. A tree fell down right next to the coop in a rare wind storm this past month so I thought a few branches from it would be the perfect tribute.

You did a great job! That was quite the project, but now you can sit back and enjoy your hard work and your chickens!

I wonder how many coops have chandeliers...

Okay....my Eggcelent Coop Chandelier is complete! I thought you might want to see the finished result!

I have to admit, after seeing yours, I found myself staring at the ceiling of my coop wondering if I had the headroom for a chandelier!

Do it!!!! You can find small ones meant to be on kids rooms or as tealight holders.

I went into the coop this morning and the sun was casting little rainbows all across the room and my chickies were happily chasing them and laying in their light.
