Excellent! Really wish I had a tractor to play with! Maybe in another few years

Wow--that's going to be a great coop. And when you get hungry from all that work you can just pop over to Cooper's for some great BBQ!

Cover your run so the eagles out on 29 don't get them--fun to look at but don't want em eating your chicks! (We came up around Christmas time to watch them & take pics) Keep up updated with your progress!

Looking Awesome! I'm already begging DH for a bigger coop!

Your Tractor is the wrong color though.... GREEN looks better on all farms!

Sorry, I work for a JD Dealer...

Don't you just love your Mahindra tractor? We really like ours, we use it for everything. Red is perfect.

I may be in South Carolina now, but I used to make weekend scooter rides to Cooper's a lot..........sigh.

It's going to be a wonderful coop, looking forward to more pics!

Today was a trip to HD for lumber, I have used all leftover 2x4’s from house. We do enjoy Coopers BBQ and this year the wild flowers all over the Hill Country are fantastic.

If I ever get this Coop Project done maybe I can play in the dirt with the tractor.

PS: Thanks everyone for your time reading and posting here at BYC, this is such a great place for all us Chicken nuts.

Day 4
Back to the construction job. Whose idea was it anyway to get chickens? It sure messes up my nap time.
Completed end walls and ready to start on roof framing.

I see you moved a chair under the shade of the trees. Getting ready for some chicken t.v.?

Nice progress BTW!
