My DH has started building a new larger, and nicer coop for the Chickens. Were going from a 4x3x4 old dog house, to a raised 5x6x6 luxury high rise.

Due to the weather in Ohio, it's taking us way longer then we ever would of thought to get this done. When finished this will house 6-8 chickens.

This is the front view, with a 5" door, Just right for me

Roof is alomost there, then the rain came, till tomorrow


The plan is to put a poop door on both sides of the coop, One year the chickens will have one side of the yard and the garden will be on the other side. The following year this will change.


More to post soon!!

Doors are up, painting the inside, windows in. Were almost there.



We used paint that was hanging around the house, so we ended up with a very pale grey, pink, and blue.



Of course the nesting boxes had to be pink, haha


I'm heading to homedepot tomorrow for the red and white paint for the outside.

Well we haven't gotten as much done as we would like. Seems now that the weather has finally turn beautiful, my husband had to go out of town for work. I am doing what I can. Whick is quite a bit, it just takes me 10 times longer then him to do things.

He started one side of the shingles for me and I did the other all by myself. They look straight. How bout that!



Here's the wonderful, handsome man, trying not to get his picture taken,

throw that truck in and I bet my DH will be there to finish that coop for ya! lol lol

That belongs to the neighbor, my daughters friends hate it because of the movie Jeepers Creepers, and the corn field behind the house. We have lots of fun with that one, haha​
