My Coop Build and Run in Photos
It started with the frame. My youngest likes to help.
Floor in. Now for the walls and nest box.
Roof and doors. A couple of older fledglings!
That's the last time he will want to to go in there. :lau
The finished Coop and Run. Just need to put some...
I am sooo pleased I decided to get chickens. I had now idea they would be this easy to look after. They are so entertaining to watch. My hubby may disagree as he did put all the work into the coop, but he will be the first to have the eggs.
My husband put the windows into my coop. Made a slight error when fitting and realised he had one of the door upside down!

I have only had my chickens for a couple of week and am really enjoying it. However, the weather here has been really bad. It seems to have rained everyday for a week and a half. Part of my run is covered but the bit that is open has become very muddy as can been seen from the pictures. I...
