The Chickens
|
At the beginning of August we
built a chicken coop and got a small flock of chickens. |

Thanks Deb and Charlie for the
design and construction help! |

The girls are enjoying exploring their new home.
The Rhode Island Red hen and the two Black Stars are the most
adventuresome, with the Dominique close on their tails. She's a
funny little hen who likes
telling us ALL about her travels each day, and if we could understand
"chicken", we might be able to glean clues as to where she's
laid her egg each day ;-). |

Treats! |
Bath time! |
Look closely! |

A tour of the coop. |

The roost is attached with removable pegs for easy cleaning. |
The chicken door drops down to the inside to become a ramp. |
With a pulley system so you can open and close the ramp door from the outside. |

The indoor dirt spa. |
We got 5 eggs the first day! |
T-Bone was all excited to play with the chicken coop...until the chickens arrived. This protective screen is apparently unnecessary.
