After my old, small coop burned down.. We built another coop. But the sad thing is, there were chickens still in the coop once it burned down, only 3 of my 7 made it out okay and are still alive today. But I'm so loving my new coop..

This is the door side. Of course, this was a door that was sitting in the attic. Where it is red and like a grid on the door, that was yellow. Very tedious work trying to paint that. I'm no artist. & Nesting boxes will go on this side, later on in the summer.

It makes me mad, but I will get over it. As you can see here in this picture, I'm using crates for nesting boxes.

Had to separate baby chicks from big hens, so there would be no friction. So chicken wire straight across!

I guess while I was taking pictures on this rainy & muggy day. [That's why the pictures don't look so happyish, I guess. LOL!] I forgot to get the eggs.

This is a picture of the little door they come out, & another window. I used a old t-shirt to make a flap so it won't be so breeezzzy, when it's cold outside..

This is a picture of the opposite side of the door, with the window open.
