    Coop needs work

    UPDATE ON THE COOP I don't think I mentioned that we started with almost no tools. Between purchasing tools and supplies, we have invested around $400 in the coop. I think that is a fair investment in my feathered friends. The coop is on a slight hill so we opted for an apron instead of...
