Our little girls have become little ladies, and it was time for them to go outside... let me tell you, chickens STINK! Oh my goodness, they smell! They were in our bathroom for 3 weeks, and then we moved them into the shop for another 4 weeks, and now, they are in the coop!! (with a heat lamp)
Kyle has been working on this coop even before we had the chickens. I have helped a little here and there and the kids "helped" too, but my goodness gracious Kyle has done a lot of work. I will post all the specifics of the coop later, but for now, here is a picture of our finished coop with out little ladies inside, and a couple of super excited kiddos! We will paint it this spring... weather is too nasty to do it now :)
 |
| Perches for the girls |
 |
| Nesting boxes... they are closed off right now because they aren't laying yet, and all they would do is poop in them. |
 |
| Hanging food and water. When you make it so they don't sit on the floor, they stay cleaner longer. |
 |
| Pully system for the feeders. |
 |
| Our COOP!! Complete with window (hand made by Kyle) and an easy access door to the nesting boxes so that I don't have to go inside to retrieve the eggs. Also, a completely enclosed run for the little ladies! |
 |
| They dont really want to go outside... |
 |
| A few brave souls :) |
 |
| Excited kiddos!! |
 |
| We can't wait for eggs! Probably early July!!! |
