New Coop and April snow!

[SweetMissDaisy]

I finished hanging wire and cementing the last bit of trench so I brought the girls out to enjoy the sunshine. I think they are very happy today in their new yard!!!

Were they happy going into the new coop to sleep or are they staying in the old one a bit longer?

 

[SweetMissDaisy]

They got to stay in the new coop. I got a temporary perch set up for them and a chicken door cut in the building, and all is well! yay!

I got more progress made in the coop today. The vinyl flooring is temporarily tacked into place on the wall studs. I wanted to leave as much as I could going vertical until I insulate and put up boards on the walls. Then it will all get trimmed evenly. Lime green. Awesome!!

And I have the bunk bed ladder in place (Habitat purchase) for the girls that don't fly well. So they can get up to the roost at night, too!!

Very nice! Love all the windows, and you have a cute flock to go with it.

Lime green? Hmmm I thought I saw wood grain vinyl.

 

[SweetMissDaisy]

i had to take the wood grain piece back and get a new piece. The wood grain one was WAAAAY too brittle and just kept cracking and tearing. Thankfully, they replaced it with a very pliable piece that will work perfectly! Perhaps it's a bonus that it's green...? Ha!

Looking great so far. Your girls are going to love it when you're done. I see several ducks checking out the coop as well? Do they all live together?

 

[SweetMissDaisy]

Yup, the ducks are in the same coop as the chickens. No problems! I used to keep geese w/ them too, in Texas. No geese at our new home (yet?) though...

What breed is fawn colored duck? He/she is very pretty !
