We built two more chicken house walls on Sunday. The wall they guys are holding up is only 3/4 done as it still need 4 more feet added to the top to make it even with the side wall on each end. That portion of the wall will have a 12" tall, 5' wide window across the south wall, up at the top, to add light into the coop so the girls will lay all winter. I will still need to add extra light in the morning but that will help. The east wall (far wall not yet built in this picture) will also have a big window that slides open, that will provide much light without cooking the poor things in the summer. My husband said he reached the end of his ability with framing after these two were done so now we wait for our friend to come back and help finish the framing. Maybe Wednesday. It is so nice of him to help us, he has so much of his own stuff to work on. But I am seriously impatient. I tried my hardest to talk Doyle into trying to build the rest without help but he wasn't biting. Darn it! Just thought I would show the progress!
Hi Heather~~ It's looking good! It doesn't hurt that there is blue sky and green hills behind it. Beautiful scenery. You must have the cleanest lungs! I'm trying to remember if you got your chicks or not.
ReplyDeleteaahh, sweet progress!
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be one fantastic chicken coop! wow! It's great that you have a friend willing to help. Kim is on his own with ours, but of course, it will be tiny compared to yours. Lucky for him!
ReplyDeletelookin good!
ReplyDeleteLooking good! Still can't get over that nice black soil you have there.
ReplyDeleteHeather, I don't know how you do it -- garden, build and blog actively all at the same time. You're an inspiration. Good luck with the project. Teresa
ReplyDeleteI like it and the chickens will too.
ReplyDeleteI think Martha Stewart use to call her chicken house the "palais du poulets" -- chicken palace, basically! Yours looks quite grand!
ReplyDeleteHeather.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the wheels for this? Farmers in these parts move the chickens around to eat weeds and fertilize the land. Seriously it looks good!
Hi Heather, you are going to have some happy chickens - new home, great scenery what more could they want? I agree I don't know how you do it all plus work. I think I told you before you must be a burst of energy!
ReplyDeleteFantastic progress, Heather! I can't wait to see the next installment! It's so cool to actually see the coop in progress!
ReplyDeleteIt's getting there. Before long you'll be house cleaning.
