Very nice! It is coming along great! I wish i had the ability to cut straight and the time and patience to do something that great looking.

Its coming along great, so are you going to have a run or are your chickens going to be free range?

 

[blueberrychickens]

Yes there will be a run too, I'm thinking 8x20 & underneath the coop for some shade. Thats phase 2 of the project! Thanks!
