Nice job on the frame randerson. What size will it be and what size wood did you go with on the frame?
I love building coops!
If I dont stop adding chickens I will be building another coop myself. Lol

The Li'l School house is being built!! No more brooding in the house!! e Have I ever mentioned that my husband is amazing?!?! So much other work to be done on the homestead, but he is putting me and this rowdy bunch of chickies first!! It is going to be 4'x4' and about 6' tall in the middle!!! It will be near our barn for electricity access, but will be moved next to the big coop in the future. I am so excited!!

I only have experience with my current Roo, but this bunch of extra cockerels is crazy! They jump, they fly, they attack your hand like little dinosaurs. Leghorns, or whatever, at a week and a half old those combs are growing and turning pink already!!

Quick pic of the flock exploring the orchard.

Have a great weekend!!
