That’s so funny bc the 3 hens we rescued already ready had names. Fuzzy butt Lola and Ginger

That is funny.

First up is Rosie, she started our flock 3 years ago Dec 26 2017 we found her hanging out in front of house. She had been there a couple of days sleeping in the bushes and under our truck.

What a wonderful way to get started, by rescuing one.

Then came the littles because everyone told us we couldn't have just one chicken...

Brenna, sweet and shy

She is the best and until this winter followed us everywhere.

That is their old coop that they like to shelter in, they cats like to sleep in there too

A couple would be super helpful, I did get a piece up during a break in our weather today, but I think it will need more.

So here you go. This is the coop porch. You can see the grommets with fender washers and short deck screws along the top, staples along the side.

On the big walls of the run I again use fender washers and screws for the grommets. Then for the long edges I use the molding with deck screws in order to secure the full length. I use staples to secure all the folds and supplement where needed.

Do these help?

Lovely thank you, I had a bunch of packages of plumbing washers I used on top, but was a bit afraid to staple the sides. Might look in my wood pile for some trim bits.
