I think I get to pick up my FREE coop today!

[LittleDarlings]

I'm so excited!!

A friend from church had given all his chickens away and was left with the coop. He heard I was getting chickens and asked if I wanted to just come and get his. Ummm, YES!!

So my Uncle is in town with his big work truck and trailer. He said he would go with me to get it!! I am so blessed to have these amazing people in my life!

Now to get my brooder set up and then order the feathery fellows!

(My friend's wife said that their coop is so ugly it could possibly bring down my property value!

I don't care! I

FREE!!

How exciting!!!!!!!!

I agree, paint it! It can't be that bad? You could even add some cuteness to it by doing a bit of landscaping to it. A few bushes, flowers along the outside...? I bet you can work with it! Post a pic!!!

Maybe your taxes will go down.

i like that one

OH, congratulations! That's wonderful! I agree, a coat of paint can do wonders. I used your typical red barn color (actually it was called barn paint), on my used coop that I bought from Craigslist, and I replaced some of the wiring, and it looks as good as new!

Good luck and I know you will enjoy raising chickens. What breed are you interested in? Anything in particular?

Depending on how it looks you can get free old shutters, cheap or free paint, a couple cute signs and make the coop look great. Never underestimate a chicken owner on a mission!
