Finally finished it today. Whew! So glad it's done!

It's a 10x10 dog kennel covered from top to bottom with hardwire cloth.

Skirted with 24" hardwire cloth, edges tacked down with sod spikes and stones

The top is covered with the pannels from the old dog run

The coop is small, but just enough for the three chickens I have now...

The food is hung on a wire with a clip so I can take it in during the rain...

The water is up on cinder blocks to help level it out. It stays much cleaner, too, with all the leaves on the ground.

I also made a dust bath mixture today... Sand, dirt, and DE. Soupie was the first one in. She loved it!

I had a storage thing lying around, and it had a lid that sealed tight, so I figured that way I could keep it dry (sometimes)



Oh, and yes, I did take stock in the zip tie company last week
