Yet Another Chicken Coop!

[CapricornFarm]

Since i now own lovely Tolbunt Polish and Crested Cream Legbars, and they are growing fast, i need to get busy and build a coop.
I have chosen the site, near my new Turkey Coop, so it can use the side of the turkey runs as the back of the chicken runs.
Here is the site:

And here is the site this evening.

The supervisor is checking it out.

Nope, we live in the backwoods of Virginia. On a river, at the end of a dirt road that runs onto another dirt road. I love it, and i love all the old growth trees.

The other side has my Tolbunts.

A bit more site clearing, painting and assembling parts for the run today. Getting cloudy, hope no rain!
Note the pieces of 2x4s under the corners. They help line up the boards for assembly and get them up off the leaf litter for painting.

I threw a tarp on it because i had spilled some staples on the ground under it and i didn't want the turkeys to eat them by mistake.

OyVey!! Got a big magnet?

Got a light?

Yep!

The divider is up! Hope to put on the chicken wire tomorrow.

I also lashed together the wire on top of run #1. Still need to close in around that tree with wood so i can attach the wire. Maybe i can hang the door tomorrow as well if it is not raining.
