    I love it! I'm actually putting some of your ideas into our new coop, which is still in the drafting stages. I plan to make a scale model of at least the basic dimensions out of cardboard before we even purchase/reclaim wood for the coop. Love the name plate too, makes it look like a little kid...

She hops on the tarp by the looks of it. Her feet are covered in poo when I check on them. I try to clean...

    Poopy box!!!

    Ok so I bought an EE this summer and she's doing good, her feathers have grown back from the roosters at her previous home and she's a bit of a scaredy cat when it comes to my two other girls. She is so scared of them that she refuses to roost on the bars (we have two long bars) the big girls...

    My Buff Orp was squeaking when she breathed and sounded just down right weird when she tried to bawk at me. Was perfectly fine earlier when she let us know her coop mate was in the nest box. I noticed her nose was running till about 5 minutes after I got her out I the run and sorta quarantined...

    aging chicks

    I'm thinking my RIR is older than my other chicks. She has tail feathers developing and is a good bit bigger.
