Hooray, my coop is finally under construction! After months of terrible rain, dangerous flooding and flying bricks, the weather has finally cleared!
The neighbor's wall is still down along the side of the house, and we can't touch it until the insurance is finished deciding whose responsibility it is. Them behind us have pulled the fence back up, but it still needs to be reenforced. We'll be putting up our own fence anyway. Coop building has been scheduled for months, so we have to do what we can now.
The side here will open completely for easy cleaning, and so the perch can be removed and replaced when it gets too grubby.
I'm worried that the carpenter made the nest boxes too shallow. It's not finished and sealed yet, so there is plenty of time for refittings.
The baban was cross because the carpenter stacked lumber on her trampoline. She's very excited about the chickens, along as they wear knickers - she was specific on this point. We've explained that chickens don't really need clothing like big girls do, but she's very hard to argue with.
You can see in the back where there is no fence between us and the empty house on the other side - more fence building!
