1 3/4 More Walls Up!

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!

  1. 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.

  2. That 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!

  4. Heather, 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

  6. I think Martha Stewart use to call her chicken house the "palais du poulets" -- chicken palace, basically! Yours looks quite grand!

  7. Heather.

    Where are the wheels for this? Farmers in these parts move the chickens around to eat weeds and fertilize the land. Seriously it looks good!
