    My new 6x8 pallet coop- done!

    This morning we finished the coop so the chickies can move in tonight. We painted the coop and trim with the mini coop and outside roost to match. We moved the fence up against the coop and cut a hole in the chain link and hardware cloth. Three metal stars and two mums added to make it more...
