Phase I of the Chicken Coop
Posted on August 28th, 2005 By laura at 6:42 pm (All, Chickens)
It’s a small step, but a great testament to what one woman can do with a sledgehammer and a lot determination.
This was a space that I’m pretty sure the lady who built our house used to house her bucks in order to keep them away from her does (she raised Alpine goats and had as many as 60 at a time on this property). I will use this space to house chickens someday. The only thing left to go is to level and install a new floor, close up the building, build fencing, nesting boxes, roosting racks, make a brooder and buy chicks. No problem.

You go girl…great work. And let me tell you from one farmgirl to another…it’s never going to end. 5 years now and it never, ever ends. There is always some project, some animal whether it be in the house or in the barn. It’s a wonder I’m not medicated 24/7.
Let me know how you do with the chickens…I expect you to be an expert by the time we start our coop in the spring so you can tell me all the do’s and do not’s.

I’ve been reading everything I can get my hands on and asking everyone I come across who has chickens my many questions. Hopefully I won’t kill all the birds before they can lay some eggs for me.
