Our new coop/run!!!

So excited! The flock moved into their new coop! The interior needs to be finished, but is done in a temporary way to give my husband a little break for a while
The whole flock is together now, and they seem to all be very happy in their new home.









Still working on an outdoor roost, too! The chickens seem to prefer to roost on top of the Ex-Pen I have in there rather than the 2x4. I'm going to try to find a more "natural" tye of roost to see if they like that better. Who knew chickens were so quirky???!!!

Thanks! And yes, I am spoiled... and so are my chickies!
I can't wait for the plants to mature. Most are transplants from my other gardens. I couldn't see spending money for bigger plants, when I have so many that NEEDED to be split or transplanted here already.
We covered it with high-density polyethylene mesh we got I think from FarmTek (my husband does the purchasing). It came in 6 foot sections, so we had to weave them together and support them inside with cable (think dog run coated wire). We'll see how it works long-term.

The best part is the interior, linoleum hardwood look flooring! He cracks me up. We go to Home Depot and I say get the cheap stuff, it's just going to get pooped on, right? But oh, no! We have to get the expensive stuff that looks nice! Ha ha ha! Not that I'm complaining...

 

Oh, ABSOLUTELY, they are locked in at night! Right now I have to catch them and put them in one by one. I'm hoping eventualy they'll just go in on their own & I can close the door.
And the walls are beadboard (sp?) painted white. Again, more expensive, but awfully pretty (for now)
