ahh..u should post them unfinished lol I did!

I want to make the sign for it "The Layer Lair" (I want the layers lair but hubby says thats not grammatically correct??)
& put up the tin chicken signs on the side of the coop this week...

hubby has to make a door to the run and put the roof panels up next wk..then it'll be done!
oh wait; then he needs to make screen windows so we can pop out the solid windows..we got them for
$5 each and $5 for the door/frame! at habitat...

so we'll use leftover lumber and hardware cloth to make screens we can pop in/out...
thats the plan anyway lol...
 
Wow! Very impressive! You & your hubby did a wonderful job.

Have any of your girls jumped into the top nest boxes yet? They don't look very high, but they might like a perch in front of the doors? Or not.

That is a really nice set-up you have for your birds. I can see why they look so happy!
