    Echlfans Chicken Coop

    This is our first foray into chickens. We hatched ducks for my little girls class 2 years ago. My friend got me hooked when she told me about hers. She wanted to do another order. I planned it all out & sprung it on my husband 3 days before ordering it. He wasn't totally excited, lol. But...
