Well my three girls are really growing. They will be 3 weeks old on Wednesday so my wonderful Hubby and I started work on our A frame coop this weekend.
We are so pleased with how it's coming out. We'll be painting the framing during the evenings this week and next weekend begin on the inside of the upper deck and hopefully, all the outsides. We are making trays in the upper deck that will be removable for easy cleaning with linoleum floors.
We are having a lot of fun building it together. In addition, we are building a "vacation" run for the girls as well. The coop will be on smooth pavers with pine shaving or hay down on it but the "vacation" run will be portable to move the girls around for fresh places in the grass to scratch and play.
I think we are going to name the A frame "Coop de Cluck" and I'm purchasing a "Fresh Organic Eggs" sign in colors to match. Our coop will be painted to match our house since we are really very much in suburbia. I can't wait to see the finished product!
Darling Hubby sanding some of the rough pieces!
The two "A's"
That's me helping! The dumb end of the measuring tape! LOL
The frames are all complete!
And ready for painting before beginning the insides next weekend!
Pictures of my puff balls at three days old!
My girls today at two and half weeks! Mildred is red, Mabel is black and Pearl is more blonde!
