Steadfast's 1st Coop (Ton's of Photos)

[Steadfast]

Sunday
Yes, I skipped church for this project AGAIN!

The amazingly exhausting process of installing all the chicken wire was unexpectedly challenging.
this process took the better part of 8 agonizing hours!
And was so mindnumbingly dull we actually forgot to take photos!

Bringing in the food and water dispensors and laying down the Diatomacious Earth, pine chips and hay.

Finished enough to go pick up the chickens, but not yet done.
Just WAIT to see what we do NEXT to compete this project!

putten in the chickens.

and with in 1 hour we had our first egg!
SHAAAZAM!
It was actually still warm when we took this photo!

BTW: I just found out Osama Bin Ladin is DEAD!

WooooHoooo!That's One less evil dirt bag tormenting the world!
USA! USA! USA!

Our troops ROCK!

We have that exact same playhouse/slide. LOL!!! We keep it around for the grandkids, but my 16 yo daughter wants us to covert it so she can have silkies. Great job.

This morning's haul!

Counting yeasterday's egg... That's 3 eggs, so far...
My father and law and I worked a total of 6 days of hard labor, and I spent over $1000 to build it...

That makes my eggs worth over $333.00... PLUS two days of hard labor, for 2 men... each egg!

OUCH!

Mind you, it ran me just over $1000 to build it. (kiss my tax return...GOOD BYE)
