how many husband building or remodeling chicken coops this weekend

[ILOVEFRIZZLES]

Hat off to all the coop and remodelers. Hard working people to please a bunch of chickens and the wives. Mine is one of this poor soul and I even got my dad and oldest nephew to help.

BANG BANG BANG

thats what you hear in my backyard this weekend my new coop being bulit and the old one being torn down

it was not supposed to be this weekend tho... we ordered our lumber on friday evening for a tuesday delivery, DH was going to take his time this week after woor carefully measuring and cutting each piece so next weekend he would just have to "throw it together"

well to my suprise on saturday evening the lumber truck pulled up... they delivered my lumber this weekend

so instead of working on the vehicles this weekend, he is doing the coop and next weekend is going to be the vehicles i guess (just oil changes and getting them ready for winter nothing major)

My family is also out this weekend remodeling our not even finished coop to accommodate an ornery rooster who can no longer be with the general population.

I will be the one, just me&myself supervised by the chickens ,starting again in a few minutes......Hope to finish up during the week. Converting 8x12 shed into new home.....Still waiting for the windows to arrive so I can install them. Floor finished, most of the painting done, vents in. Still need to install a pop door and then rig a pen. Most likely a 4x10 or 4x12 out of panels from a doggie x-pen and then cover that with PVC roofing reclaimed from the old run. Have an old doghouse I found at St. Vinnies, plastic but large for a shelter in the run. Will take pics when done

I'm letting mine have the weekend to himself, with breaks for technical advising on the coop . . .

My husband has been hard at work all weekend finishing our "new" coop. Hopefully, we will be able to move chickens in tonight!!!!

I can hear hammering out there right now The "temporary" run for the new chicks is almost done. DH has been working on it all weekend. I think he could have been done sooner if the rooster didn't keep jumping him from behind.
I'm going to go out there right now and tell him that he's not the only one

Yes -- my sweet husband is working his hiney off out there in the rain. We're adding a bigger run to the back of our teeny tiny coop. He is not someone who enjoys these kinds of projects, but he's doing it anyway. He is a good man.

Everything is taking longer than expected -- it seemed so simple when we talked it out.

I'll post pic laters. But hats off to all the coop-building men!

Well, my hubby says I have to add to this one. He build me a new A-frame tractor on Sat. This is the second tractor and 4th coop he has built since we met and married. The poor thing should have know what he was getting into when we married last Sept. Guess I'll let him off a few weeks in celebraton of our first anniversary.
