Rob,

What a great find and you did a great improvement with the roof and such.

Did want to mention I saw somewhere on BYC that someone's hen had a plastic/silk flower stuck in her digestive track. Her husband had tried to get the hen after he saw she had gotten ahold of it. I don't think the hen made it. The person said she was taking all the fake flowers out of the yard.

Awesome! I think I'm going to try the same, what a score!

Thanks for sharing that, I wasn't quite sure if this particular breed would eat them or not. My experience with all of my LF chickens is that they certainly will pick at them and possibly even eat them. What I am putting in there though is a breed that can't really see a whole lot past there huge beard and crest so I was just hoping that they might be okay?? I dunno, I may try wooden flowers. That could still look pretty decent maybe. I have explored other possibilities in the past as far as living plants that are safe to eat and what I came up with is that they destroy it in under a day.
Maybe I'll just paint some flowers on the side of the coop LOL!

UH OH.

Seems like in addition to chicken math, we may be experiencing a shed math phenomenon!

If I had a truck, and if my husband would let me, this place would be Sanford & Sons big time.

So many sheds/playhouses/coops/barns... So little time...
