Awesome its supposed to rain for the next 3 days, starting now I presume as it has just started to pour down. These chickens must be praying for weather that is not builder friendly, they like it inside with all the attention they get too much!!

Haha I don't know how close you are to Nash County, just got out of the Army Dec. 22nd and don't start school til August so just let me know when you want me to come help.

Finished up what I believe to be all the trim work today, also finished nest boxes. Woot!!! Pop door tomorrow and who knows what else! Slowly these are becoming the most expensive FREE EGGS I've ever purchased!

Its ok though. They've been an experience and wonderful stress relief overall. Once construction is complete I'm sure its downhill for the most part from there.

I couldnt help but notice that this is your first coop.

Wait until you are building your fourth one.

Oh and did i say that this fourth coop will have a concrete floor (for easy cleaning), with huge windows, doors at each end (again for easy cleaning), and a huge light on the outside with a motion detector. Haha! Once you start you just cant stop.

Spoiled chickens! Now all i need to do is convinve myself that i should put an air conditioner in it and a heater. Lmao! But seriously, good job on the coop. It looks great!
