That picture was taken this summer!
We don't have snow right now, but we have MUD.
Currently the grass is brown and just starting to green up for spring.
(I'm not going to take pictures in the mud.)

Here's mine

we went for the barn look

That is awesome! I love it being set under the trees like that. I wish I had that natural shade. I love your sitting area, too. The view from the inside looks like a rental cabin

Currently at 12 units and still building

I think this is the direction I'm heading. The coops are starting to line up, and I'm building divider walls between the flocks. So much easier to access this way

Thanks! We had never built anything before and the massive run just kinda happened lol. They get a great view of the sunrise through the trees This is our blog on building it. Such a crazy adventure! (And it's still not done! )

So exciting, and so lucky! I started with 6 eggs only three were viable. Mine are due to hatch Saturday. I think I need to get some of your eggs! I also plan on crossing a Maran roo x a legbar for my Olive Eggers.
