Chicken Coop

I'm sure many of you are dying to see the awesome coop Brad built for the girls. It's pretty good considering Brad didn't use any plans, just made it up. There are two really great features - one is the floor of the house which is actually a drawer. This will make things so much easier when Brad has to clean out the coop. The second cool feature is the nesting boxes. Brad is going to build little steps so Lucy & Georgia can reach into the boxes to get the eggs. It seems hard to believe that these tiny little fluff balls will soon be providing us with our breakfast eggs, can hardly wait!

You can't tell from these pictures, but the house part of the coop has been painted red with white trim - looks just like a real barn.

We don't keep them in there for very long, I swear

This picture really cracks me up

You can see the nesting boxes to the left. The nesting boxes will be filled with with straw (and hopefully eggs) and the floor of the house will have lots of nice wood shavings covering it. Cozy.
