Finally finished, and moved the biddies out to their new home. Going to keep them in the brooder for about another week, then they get the whole coop for a few weeks, then the yard. Keeping the barn cats away from them should prove to be a neat trick.

Beside one lonesome 2x4 everything looked brand new, even the window!

Maybe you should fry those chickens now and make that into the bugs playhouse? I'll have to send you pics if the "crooked houses" we build for kids, she'd love it

Nah, the window was old. If it was new, I would've bought a new construction with a flange. I hate setting replacement windows.

You are losing. That's the plan. "I bought this. It's too expensive? Ok, let's go get something cheaper (even though we don't need it)"

It's like politics

Hom much is that per egg including feed ?
Before you whig on me...I gotta build a shed too. Lawnmower n gardening stuff.
Wanting to build onto each side.
Greenhouse on one side and chicken coop on other. Still in planning stage.
Could easily encorporate your chicken coop ideas.
Nice work.

If you let them loose in your garden, would they eat the potatoe beetles or the plants? I've been wondering for a while now.
