Here is our original "coop" aka playhouse. It took a lot of TLC, but it turned out to be a perfect home for the hens.

I had to place the chickens on their roost... after the photo, they all slept under the water bucket until they were older.

One of the hazards of my job, I wonder if my hens would eat these? From what I understand they are paper wasps, they congregate in the terminals on the telephone phone poles. Fortunately for me, it was a little chilly on this day, so they just hung out while I worked.

bottom egg is the organic brown egg from Costco, top left is from Skippy's the egg farm here in Petaluma and the top right is from our RIR... you can really see the difference from the Costco egg to our hens egg.

Our first 3 eggs! We didn't realize that our RIR was laying yet, we checked after I noticed that she jumper out of the nesting box and low and behold... 3 weeks later our Barred Rock started and another 2 weeks after that, one of our buffs... now waiting of the rest of the freeloaders

The one rooster we got out of the bunch... He was really a cool guy, not really friendly, but not really mean... He put up a good show by fluffing his neck feathers, jumping towards me and pecking. Instantly calmed when I grabbed him and held him. He was probably plotting my demise, but in my mind he was hanging out with his buddy (me).

panoramic of the coop/run. We built the run around a small shrub (the bottom 1/3 of which has been eaten) the coop itself is under the canopy of a redwood in the yard. We added an automatic door making these chickens some of the more spoiled ones out there. They roam back yard almost everyday, on a mission to turn over every leaf, rock and piece of mulch.

Made a nice coop for the chicks, used a beautiful branch from a redwood for a roost.... instead of using the perch, they slept in a pile under the water bucket for 3 months.
