Helpful hints for building coops

Why is it that nothing likes to eat obnoxious weeds ?
I remember when I was a kid,
we still shocked oats and used a threshing
machine. there is nothing like hugging bundles of
oats with thistles in them, it was always hot but
we had to wear long sleeves to protect ourselves
from the pickers..

I have been loading the kiln, but i had to stop for my Rheumatologist appointment. These came out of the last firing.

Chicken bank. I need to take a side view.

I like the orchid pot. neat detailing.
I had to come in the house. My fingers are frozen.
Not quite 50F out there yet. I was handling steel.
I got the wheels all done on the second jointer.
Then I started removing a little rust in preparation
of waxing the work surface.
I can begin to see a light at the end of the tunnel.
I hope it is not a train coming at me.

Thinking of adding a 4x8 add on to my coop. That would make it 8x12.I have 9 chicks at the moment and have 6 more coming in July and 6 in October. Would that be big enough for them? The run is gonna be 15 wide 35 long, still playing with those measurements
