Yeah, Flash likes lap time once in awhile, but with the alpha and the beta already there, she didn’t chance getting pummeled. 🤣

Anyone else notice the higher ranked birds get more lap time?

My top hen refuses to be touched. My next to last likes lap time.

Second to last, the closest thing to a lap chicken I have.

TYY, I told my hubby let me look before he throws away stuff because it might go in the coop or chicken run and be used by the chickens. I salvage a lot.

Thats smart ;)

My whole coop is mostly comprised of up-cycled stuff. When we bought this home the owners were moving to Florida and left a bunch of their things here. Although, it was mostly true junk some things have been useful. The run door was just here brand new never installed. I also found a bannister I am determining to make into roost bar when I redo the coop interior, it would be perfect. There was slabs of marble from something they must have done and they were odd sizes but thick. Its buried now along the edges of the coop as well as huge piece of metal nothing is coming up under there! All of it helped to significantly defray the cost of turning the shed into a coop. :)

I love you found all that stuff and used it especially smart on the marble. I used brick around mine. We are doubling the size of the run next so I will be using a lot of useless junk in there lol.

I managed to salvage a whole bunch of doors and windows and that is what led to the Chicken Palace being ‘full height’.
My original plan was lower but faced with those lovely doors I changed my mind.
