Renovations are afoot!

There are no pictures for this. The camera was dead when I went to take "before" pictures. Just use your imagination. If you are a family member, you have a clear picture of the old chicken coop. The old chicken coop has been used as a lambing pen, a wood shed and a home for many a creepy crawly. Most of you probably forgot we had a chicken coop at all. It has never housed a poultry type animal. Possibly the ducks lived there when hiding from sheep, but I think they preferred the barn.

It will have a new life and purpose soon. David says this should take a week. I will say it will be done before we go on vacation. It has to be. There are twelve chickens that need a place to live and a chicken coop seems to be what they need. This one will have new walls, a new perch, new nest boxes and proper feeding pans. I hope it becomes a place to gather eggs soon. October would be nice. November may be here before the younger ones start laying. It also needs a name. A creative name would be good. Wait for pictures and news of the grand opening around July 4th. What a way to celebrate!
