Chicken Coop Remodel

At the beginning of October Pat began remodeling the chicken coop. Large branches, from our own trees, were used for the posts. I love how rustic they look.

After the post were in place and the roof framed the south wall was removed.

At this point the chicken house began looking like a stable;

And the chickens spent a few nights sleeping in the open.

Next the walls, window and door was framed;

And metal walls were put in place. The roof even has insulation.

New nesting boxes are now in place;

And the floor has cotton burrs scattered throughout.

The chickens like their newly remodeled home but we still lack their roosts, putting wire over the window and adding a door.
