    New Home For The Girls

    This is my first post - hope I do it right! I ordered the basic coop and run kit and yes, it was made in China (which disappointed me) but sent from Canada I think. It is very attractive but it is pretty puny and came with some minor damage. We had to redo staples, and some of the wiring...
