Very beautiful coop setup & landscaping! Great pics!Here is my new door that we built today. I used to have to keep the left door shut and I had another door that opened into the coop. It worked but all their litter blocked it and it was covered in chicken wire, so it was not predator proof for the night. I had to shut the shed doors each night which really took away a lot of ventilation. Now we built two sides for a door frame and added the new door and it is all covered in hardware cloth. I don't have to shut the door at night!!! Yay!!! It has been so hot the past few days they needed the ventilation. I only kept the shed doors opened when we were home so it was an oven in there before when the doors were shut.
Earlier in the week we landscaped a little around the chicken run and put in a garden area on the left. We also made a new door to my run. The old door is at the far left end of the run. Since we moved it, the whole thing ended up being on a slope, so when I would go into the run to give them food and water I had to step up a couple feet to get in and the door would swing open, lots of trouble. We screwed in the door on the left and now we have the new smaller door on the side. You can see it right where the square pavers are. We still have some landscaping to do, but now I can enter the run and coop so much easier now!!! It's been a great a productive week.
The cardinal nest is in the rose bush on the far right in the above picture, perfect level for me to spy on them.
..and this little guy is just creaming "FEED ME!!" See their wing feathers coming in?
I have a dove that built a nest on top of an outside house light...the light is directly outside of my bedroom though. I can't bring myself to tear down the nest after she is done using it & each year she comes back and has more babies there! Right now there are 3 babies about the size in your pic. Man they can make a racket when they are hungry!
