Well I know I need a bigger building at some point and with a little luck we will get it this fall or next spring at the lastest but for now my wife and I have been renovating an older building on our property. It will be the main coop and then later (once new bulding is built) be the BROODER coop.
It's 22x14.
Yes it's needs some work I gutted it (interior) last fall.
This week I took out old broken, rotten windows and doors. I framed them in new 2x6.
We found a used steel door with window and handle in a frame. So bought it!
No luck on the used windows, so we bought some new ones. With the amount of projects on my TO DO LIST this summer, I had very little time to waste. I have been searching since last fall for windows, I could no longer wait.
So here is a piture with door and windows installed from the back door of my house the chickens will have most the space you see in the photo minus a pathway plus more as they have atleast twice that much room a the back of the property.
We ordered the lumber to frame the interior so I can insulate it. We also ordered the lumber to build a 22x24 foot run off the front of building. It's coming later today, I'm up early... EXCITED!
I will update the pictures as I progress... Thx for your interest BTW our CHICKS come MONDAY the 9th!
