Absolutely Stunning. And the birds look so content. You must be very proud of this build!

Beautiful birds! And also, great surroundings.

If i ever needed a pen i would hope it looked half that good, you did a wonderful job on it.
Now tell Zaz why there is snow on the inside, didn't you build it to keep that out

Zaz, Yes I did build it to keep snow out, I had a Tarp over it the other day because I didn't have the wood on the roof yet, When I took the tarp off to put the wood down some snow fell inside. I am just waiting on the metal roof to come in so I can finish it.

I still have some landscaping I guess you would call it to do in the pen area and also need to finish the walk way to the coop, but the snow keeps getting in my way.

I have Plexi glass cut out so I can close the windows up in the winter.

I just put the birds in there today, I just got the BS Female and the Silver Pied Male today. The other three birds I had sectioned off in one of my chicken coops. which you can see in the back ground in some of the shots.

Below is a Link to another build I am working on, and some more shots of my property, The Horse fence in some of the Pic's above does need some fixing.

Thanks, I am unsure how long the Ever Green will last but I figured I give it a try. This bird thing is addictive, i only wanted a couple chickens,
I wanted 9 Hens I ended up with 22 Hens,
Wanted 1 Rooster I have 2,
Wanted 2 Guineas, Well I have 2 Now, 2 Are gone,
I now also have 2 Turkeys,
Wanted 2 Peafowl, I now have five and I am wanting another Hen.
Going to get 4 Pigeons today, Gee.
Oh and I have 50 Pheasant coming in June to raise though and 4 H/DEC release Program. Glad I have Lot's of land.

Also all of The rough cut wood ( Siding and Trim roof wood ) is from trees off of my Property.
