We've just started converting a stall of our small barn for the purpose, but there certainly won't be a linoleum floor: plain concrete for my lot. I think yours is looking great - well done, and I hope your chicks all arrived safely!Amandahttp://someoneelseskitchen.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056175194573952795.post-38857666081673257852009-06-03T17:07:44.801-06:002009-06-03T17:07:44.801-06:00I have to tell you my chicken house story. We, My ...I have to tell you my chicken house story. We, My husband of probably ten years at the time and two girls, moved to five acres in southwest Washington. I wanted chickens and my husbans never did anything halfway. Anyway he built me a chicken house along the same line as yours. Friends would come over and comment on luxurious our chickens had it. We enjoyed many chickens on our table as well as eggs along with many wonderful stories. Eventually it was just my husband and I and we decided to not have chickens anymore. Well I looked at that wonderful building and as a surprise my husband made it into a studio for me. So you have done well and look forward to many years of enjoyment. and they taste good too.<br /><br />SandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056175194573952795.post-54710563988031227882009-06-03T13:12:48.052-06:002009-06-03T13:12:48.052-06:00It's so exciting!

Hop is a tough plant so I'm hoping it will make it. You might do what Green Frieda does, put a hay bale outside the coop for a while. The chickens might have so much fun with it they won't bother any plantings.<br />Your coop is absolutely beautiful and I'm glad you post about it so often.

Chickens rule!!! To think yours even have a tile floor. Talk about the life! I love the idea of a droppings bench, too. We put straw and/or shredded paper under our roosts so it's easy to clean out and makes for instant compost. What kind of chickens are you getting? As for landscaping, urk. Unless it's woody and possibly evergreen, I don't know of anything chickens won't eat. I'll be waiting with bated breath to see if anyone has some suggestions!our friend Benhttp://ourfriendben.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056175194573952795.post-68940796625555286422009-06-03T08:35:47.178-06:002009-06-03T08:35:47.178-06:00Wow!

One thing you might think of to make the compost dropping scrapping easier is just laying newspaper down, or some sort of paper product on the dropping bench to catch them. Then all you would have to do it dump it paper and all into the bin. You may have already though of that though!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00524456191483377274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056175194573952795.post-36199240729078986512009-06-03T07:17:37.861-06:002009-06-03T07:17:37.861-06:00I need to see how that droppings bench works!
