Turning the garden shed into a coop.
It took a little persauding but I finally convinced my hubby that having chickens was much better than having a shed full of junk! Now, where to put that junk.......

(Below) The inside of the coop is starting to take shape.
Moved all the 'junk' out. The roost is up, the automatic door is installed (yeah) and we added 2- 4 foot windows. The coop is 8 x 12.

Added the dropping boards. They are removable and covered in scrubbable wallpaper that I picked up at our local restore.

They Just arrived!! I am so excited, was on pins and needles all day waiting and hoping. It was a long wait (82 days) and am just so incredibly happy that they are finally here. I can't believe I am actually a chicken mom, I've dreamed about this day since I was a child.
