The Chicken House

We are currently in the process of building the "Chicken House" for them. We have gotten an area all ready for them and a floor for the building!!

The chicken coop is FINISHED!!!

(we still have the run to do but will be doing that within the next week.

The front of the chicken coop -- notice the JOHN DEERE colors!!! Austin and his John Deeres!!!

Notice the yellow tall door on the left? That folds out so the chickens can go out into the run

The chickens are VERY happy!!! Fresh bedding, fresh feed, fresh water and a brand new Chicken House!! Who wouldnt be happy?!?!?

Here's the back side of the coop with the BIG door open!! Notice it's nice and big so even the hefty momma (that's me) can get in there if I need to LOL

Here's the back with the door shut. Notice the yellow door on the right? That's where we can open it and get out the eggs for breakfast!!!!!
