Great finds! Sounds like a fun trip despite the sogginess.

Come labor day! They have an even bigger one then!

12 x 7.5ft! I am considering, splitting it into 2, 4 x 7 section with the center open. Framing in 2 man doors, using hardware cloth. So it's like having 2 separate small coops. Another reason I want to do that, so I can leave both main doors open for air in the summer. Of course, I have plans for more ventilation. Falkor only has 8 hens left, 2 of which are bantam. I've decided not to add more to his flock. I want to focus on my silkies, and one rarer breed. I have a trio of crested cream legbar too, that I'm having a hard time letting go.

My husband words..... you know, I could be spending this money on a shed, to actually put my tractor in.... my words. Ok, I guess the chickens can live in our heated/cooled garage

I should have it in my possession tomorrow!! Thankfully I know many of people with roll off trucks! We still have to level out a spot and set it on bricks. But my main concern was getting it here.

My list of to do for the shed.

• Paint outside to match silkie coop.
• Paint inside with good paint to keep the moisture from the wood.
• Add ventilation
• Repair the door
• Frame in some divider with 2x4 and hardware cloth
• Build roost poles

List for around the shed area.

• Cut out junk trees and brush
• And get it ready for fencing
• Level area for shed
• Lay block for foundation

I have a 40 x 60 (probably bigger than that) wood fence back there. Half of it was hit by a tree. But the post in the ground are still solid. I plan on using it for my runs.

I have alot of work to get done.
