Update on The Chicken Inn II and Our Babies!!

Today is a rainy, dreary day on the farm...a good day to post and update!

It's been too long since I updated the progress on The Chicken Inn II.  We've been busily working away on the coop and many other projects here on the farm, but here are the last pictures I have taken of the coop.  We have done SO much more since these were taken!  I need a good sunny day to get some current photos :0)

The Chicken Inn II coop is all painted :0)  Notice the 2 x 4 railing....this will stabilize the fence and provide a good place to staple the fence.  We will add a decking board to the top for a nice finish.

You will notice there are two chicken doors....the one in the front will be the Nursery Door and they will have their own little run.

All Posts are In....now to tackle that 200 ft of fence lying here!


Since these pictures were taken we have put up all the 2 x 4 top railing, all the 2 x4 welded wire fence, and the decking board as a top railing to finish it off.  We turned the fence out at the bottom to keep predators from digging under and have added cypress mulch all around the perimeter.  It looks really nice :0)

We still have to underpin the coop, build gates, and install a top on the coop!  More pics to come :0)

Now to the babies :0)

They are now two weeks old and just way too cute!  Here's a few pictures I took this afternoon while they were out of the brooder, running around on the screened in porch.

Golden Laced Wyandottes

Eating strawberries :0)

This may be one of the the roos :0)

Such beautiful markings

I have something stuck on my foot!

So very pretty!

What's up.....fluffy butt :0)

I think this is one of the roos :0) He's so sweet!

Just beautiful babies
 Looking forward to completing the coop so these little ones can spend some time outside in the sunshine :0)
