Finally we have our chickens in their new home. This was a long time coming. My son had given me chickens for my birthday in March.
While they were tiny we could keep them in a box. After they got too big for the box we made a 7 ‘ cage and they were happy. Now they are adults and need to stretch their legs and the weather would not cooperate. Took forever to get the coop done.
We used scrap from a timber framers burn pile. I had an old window we re-purposed. Some one had given us some metal roofing we had used to build the bar and still had some left. The chickens nesting boxes are old wine crates. The only real cost was for chicken wire and some 2×4′s
The chickens love their new home. Now let’s hope they can start to lay.
