My DH is so nice!

Yesterday my DH framed out my nursery/broody coop in the barn. I am going to work on putting the chicken wire on this afternoon while Travis naps. I'm so excited about it. It's two sections. One I plan to use for broody hens, but currently it's going to be a temporary coop for the lavender bantams. The other side is going to be for babies once they outgrow the brooder. I'll have to post pictures after I get the wire on. It's nothing fancy, but just what I wanted!

That great! It is so nice to have some extra pens so you can accomodate all ages and situations. Having a broody pen is so nice. You don't have to worry about their safety, they are snug and cozy.

I know how happy you must be! It is amazing how happy we can be over some lumber and chickenwire!

Sara, you know my setup and you'll be happy with the versitility of that.

I added a picture! It's working out great. The babies go out as soon as the lavenders are in there alone for their 30 days.

The left third is where the lavenders are, but eventually be a pen for broodys. The right 2/3 is the baby section.

MY DH built me a nursery in the coop also and it was wonderful to move the mother and chicks into it after they hatched. After a day in the run I say "Butterscotch go home", and she heads right in with chicks in tow.
