Hi everyone! I found myself in a situation recently. My Son, the main person caring for the chickens, job is going to be taking up more time than he cares for at the moment. I have decided that for me to take over, I want to build a chicken coop to surprise him and assure myself that I can take on this task and succeed. Does anyone have any ideas you can share with me. I know that I want one with a lifted box for their laying, I want a run, and I want the open space below the box to have sand for them to take their baths. Later, I want to also add a way to feed and water them without having to always go in the pen. Not that I mind, but sometimes sending my Grandson to do a task inside the chickens pen gets him confused on this task by the time he gets in with them. I am a Mom of one wonderful Son, Rick. He is actually a member! I helped him one year to take photos of our chickens to submit to your page. We do love our chickens. I do love the idea of the plan having their ramp walkway go up into their nesting/bedding spots. Easy to clean once the chickens go out to eat in the morning.
A little about myself...I am a seasoned educational leader and educator, I have spent eight years plus in college I decided to delve into at the age of 30. I love my farm! My Husband passed away and didn't share the same love for the country I did. We never had a functioning farm until now. I don't even care about the eggs I sell. I just love my farm!! If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I would truly appreciate it.
