The Fricken Chicken story!

[Mmanist]

Hubby is working diligently in the 90° heat today to get my frame work done on the dividers. That way I can get started on painting the interior. Luckily enough I found 2.5 gallons of Valspar paint from doing my kitchen, stashed in my basement. It's a grayish white color. Good enough for me! I'll get some pictures once we get the one side done!

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.

What a great project to take on. I'm excited to see how it turns out.

Getting somewhere! Still have some finishing touches to do. I will cover the entire area with hardware cloth too.

Hardware cloth will be here Saturday!! I'm going to try to get it all painted this week! So I can get my young chicks in there soon! My big chicken can go in after it's placed permanently.

I'm coming to find out. This is an expensive project.... oh well.. told my husband once we finish this, We won't need another coop for 20yrs lol

Now that's a promise! 20 years is a long time.

I've got some bad news. Rebecca the tiny goat passed away yesterday. We think her organs grow to big for her body. She is the worlds smallest goat at 13 in tall. RIP my little Rebecca.
