Hi, my name is Jason. My lovely girlfriend, Jess (I have to check with her to see if she's on here), talked me into making a chicken coop for her three little chicken babies, Beulah, Sarafina, and Lucille. So, I looked around, and figured I'd try making one myself.
Boy, I have to say, I pride myself in building and making interesting things. I used to work as a theatre carpenter and props builder, and I know how to design stuff, but MAN! I found out quickly that I'm not too well equipped in the chicken coop-building department.
It's not completely done yet (I just put hardware cloth most of the way around, and it will have a door to get into the run part) There are soo many things I would have done differently in my design.
I figured I would put it on my arts/crafts blog, but I'm not sure I can take the embarrassment of my shoddy craftsmanship.
Please, be gentle.
I'm including a photo--here it is:
Thanks for having me--you give some great info!
