Got a lot of work to do and get a run done. Got some kind people helping me and we are working with really old solid wood from an old shed/barn. Will post more when I get some progress made. Gotta get busy since I have 3 EE, 3 blue copper marans, 4 BCM"s......all getting a little too big for the kennels they are in! The only drawback that I'm going to have to deal with is the BCM's are showing some aggresive natures....! Hate to have to cull them for their personalities! LOL Been side by side with my EE who are about 3 weeks older and bigger!! ....yet they attacked them immediately...... Had to separate them again.

Well, I can see this is a fast moving blog....LOL....however it gives me a chance to see how far I've come. The guy who was to build my coop decided on day not to f/u and finish, which left me to finish the building (not one drop of experience!).

Here are some of my picts as things came along...its really been difficult as I got tick fever (RMSF) this summer!

Has taken the stuffin' out of me. ...Starting looking at the picts from the bottom makes more sense.... Not as fancy but only 2 more postholes to dig and posts to set in quickcrete...then the wiring.

That will be difficult by myself but I'll get it done before the grass turns brown in the winter!! LOL
