When we bought our house last year there was an old chicken coop in the backyard. It obviously hadn't been used for years and by the looks of the nesting boxes they had pigeons in there last.
We were just going to build a new coup on our farm property but I didn't have the extra couple grand we figured it would cost to build what we wanted.
So, I decided to fix up the old coop instead and keep the chickens at home with us.
First, it was LOADED with a bunch of junk! We emptied it out and gutted it. The roof also needed to be replaced because it was old and leaking.
My husband put insulation in it and we put up some old paneling that we found in the barn at the farm.
We've been working on the run over the last couple of days. It is finally almost done. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Don't mind the peeling paint. It still needs to be repainted.
Take care,
Tami
