That is one beautiful coop!!!
Thanks!
Yeah ... It's going to be a few years before we can take a vacation that does not involve sleeping on friends couches, on the other hand, we were able to keep a very good friend employed for a few months when he lost his job (he also built a deck and a large dog run for us). He and his wife have done a lot of volunteer work with my son and a lot of other kids at the elementary school unicycle team, so helping them out is much more rewarding that a vacation, and now we have a high quality, beautiful coop and deck. There are more photos of it on my BYC page.
Wow, I went to your page. That is one awesome coop! Lucky chickens! Love all your wildlife photos. We used to have elk, but neighbor moved in with a black lab and we haven't seen them since. We do have lots of deer though and I am currently fighting with them over my garden! I put up netting over my raised beds, but now the slugs are eating my strawberries. Ach! Too many pests! Did you give up on your garden? It must be impossible to bear-proof it! I have a pumpkin/squash patch for my grandsons and I have been covering the tiny plants with milk jugs at night, but now they are too big. If they can just get a little bigger, the deer won't eat them once the leaves get kind of prickly. At least that is what happened the last two years. I tried an awful "garlic soup" last year to repel them, but with all our rain, it washes off and has to be reapplied frequently. May do that again though, until they get bigger.
Last year. the 3 year old grandson loved harvesting the pumpkins and zucchini. I got great photos to scrapbook. That is my other hobby. Photography and scrapbooking. I am dreaming of pages of chickens and grandsons! I loved your skater chicks photos!
