Our first chicken coop!!!

Now we can finally say that we have a chicken coop.  This is very exciting because we have some chickens that need more space, and we really want to get that chicken smell out of the house now that they aren't chicks!

Our shed arrived yesterday which was its own fun little adventure.  Fortunately, we just got to sit back and watch as they delivered and set it up for us.  Sweet!

The shed first off the truck.  It was impressive to watch him easily move the shed around.  It is amazing what you can do with the right tools.
Look at us working hard while the shed goes into place.  :)


Everyone was excited to see it and explore.  


The chicken door was added at our request and is perfect!  The boys still think they can fit through it.  We'll see about that.  
 Today we were able to add our own modifications to turn the shed into part shed part coop.  We began with a wall and then added a roost.  We decided to put linoleum down to make the floor easier to clean.  The boys with James rocked this project!


Sticky linoleum pieces are great!
Then, it was time to add some bedding to make the chickens feel at home!





Now it is ready for some chicks!


Here come the chickens!
And now the chickens are safe in their new home.  I hope they like it!
 It was a busy day but everyone did a great job, and now our growing hens have a great place to live!
