    Nhammers Chicken Coop

    I built an A-frame tractor a few years ago. It was nice because it was mobile and I could put it various spots in my garden. But I didn't find it very attractive. I've been interested in doing a 'playhouse' type looking henhouse and incorporating a run for the girls to play in. The sad...
