Hopefully this will encourage my sweet little ladies to lay eggs. Purchased them in May sooooo I’m ready!!

Oh gosh me either!!! Hardware cloth tomorrow is on the agenda. Then... I will be finished... until I had a few more in the spring 😋

Ok.... I am almost there!!! Rain for the past two days halted progress but today was cool and sunny!! I wasn’t able to get to the store to get the hardware cloth so for the meantime I just use the chicken wire I intend to put the hardware cloth around the perimeter and over top I should be doing...

Well hold the phone!!! I have a playhouse my kids never play with anymore!! The wheels are turning!!! Would this work??

The last thing I want is unhappy chickens... my kids treat them like pets. So now.... I have to figure out what to do. I’ll take any advice. I can build onto it, expand run immensely, scrap it and build something new all together.
