Homemade Chicken Coop
Monday, November 23rd, 2009
We are so excited we finally got our chicken coop done!
And getting so excited about building a chicken coop means we are 1. Getting old 2. Need more friends/hobbies or both 3. Are a little odd or 4. All of the above.
We are proud that we built the entire thing for free, with stuff we had laying around the garage (yes, we do have alot of junk stuff laying around our home). The base for the coop began its life as a potting table my dad made for me a few years ago that I didn’t use anymore. The vinyl flooring is for easy cleaning and was leftover from our addition last year.
We’re starting with just three chickens. Peep Peep the rooster and Golden Star and Golden Splash the girls (Peep, Star and Splash for short in case I’m lonely and need to be out there talking to a bunch of chickens by name). We figure we’ll hatch a few more in the spring to get the whole egg to chick education.
