OM gosh, if I were to build my kids a playhouse I don't even think it would be that nice!! Well done, those are some lucky cluckies!

Um . . . that's nicer than my bedroom!

That's cool, I wish I could do that nice of a job for my girls.

It started out being rather simple, but snowballed out of control. I wanted it to be a bright, cheerful place for them since they'll spend so much time in it; and, I hope, happy hens lay more eggs.

I've thrown out all the receipts 'cause I don't want to know how much it cost to build, but I can say it was way more than a sensible person spend.

It is built in such a way that I can hose it out with water and not worry about getting the insulation wet - the whole thing waterproof from the inside as well as the outside.

The window casing, chair rail and corner moulding are plastic. The window jambs are oak plywood strips.

The chickens do sit on the window sill and look outside, and yes the sills do get messy from time to time, but they enjoy looking out the window so much I haven't done anything to discourage them. I have added a roost which is higher than the sills, so maybe they'll use that more.

For what it is worth, it is much nicer than my house. For one, they have heat. When I first get out there after work, I start a fire in the woodstove in my house and go hang out with the chickens where it is warm. The walls and floor of my house are unfinished and only a few lights and outlets are hooked up.

Amazing how quickly that can happen.

It's awesome. I think if you have a nice coop you'll be more inclined to spend time out there enjoying them which is what all this is about anyway.

I can use your chicken's coop as a private office

It is way tooooooooo nice.

Merry christmas.
