The coop comes home. This was a freebie from a co-worker of David's. They didn't want it.
The original door for the chicken is barely visible. Both roof pieces were hinged and opened up. But they are HEAVY!

The coop in it's final spot in the yard. Took 6 people to lift it over the fence. It's a sturdy thing. Darren rolled it over on it's side (on accident) before it even got loaded in the truck. No damage done. Well that's a good thing. So after circling and circling and circling around it, plans were drawn up. Additions needed to be made and definitely painting was in order. But it had good bones so all was good.

Playing on the living room floor. No carpet! And a good thing too!

Chicks! Not sure who is who but this was their first day home. I can't believe they were this little.

The finished box. The lid was eventually removed as the heat lamp kinda sorta tried to melt it. Ended up using an overturned laundry basket over the heat lamp to keep the critters in. Badminton racquets will also work in a pinch (don't ask).

David working on our brooder box. We made it from a 50 gallon storage tub. Ideas were gathered from this website.
