[Bushy Bottom Barn]

Hi, I'm Denise from SE Iowa. I got my chickens around the 1st of May. I named my place The Bushy Bottom Barn. I have 1 Red Shoulder Yokohama named Cher, 1 Buff Orphington-Harley, 3 Silkies-Blue, Poppy and Flossie. I have a Copper Marun-Kellogg named after my late Father-in-law and an Indian Runner duck named Lucy.I have to stay off of marketplace because I can't resist free chickens. I built a nice 20ft x 15ft run for them. Bought a coop off Amazon that looked huge in the picture, but when I put it together it looked like a doll house. Today I an tearing down my old house and repurposing the wood to build a proper coop. I hope to have it done by this weekend. I'm really happy I found this site.
