Super Coop

Someone got new chicks who did not integrate well with their laying hens. Where to home them? At the farm, of course. One tiny detail. We have no coop. So with the help of the 150 page plans from The Garden Coop, http://www.thegardencoop.com/, Sean and I started building the Super Coop. Wait, who's the foreman here? 

Framing accomplished in roomy shop. Transferred with help of giant dolly and plain muscle power heft to site.

And now a roof

for these three beauties






Covid Coop Completed!

Rivertown Feed Store was out of coops. So was every other furnisher of ready made coops in the county. So, with fabulous plans from The Garden Coop, appropriate for a very novice builder, We created a coop/run enclosure for three fetching fowl. 



The lumber was sourced from the protective packing of windows installed in 2017. A million screws and fasteners insured Friedman's a steady customer stream. Whenever a cut was a fraction off, the retort was always, "It's a chicken coop." But that rarely happened...



Winston did not understand why a door was needed. He would look after the feathered friends himself. 

Allan was ready to help, but gosh darn, we're done!

Michelle and company peruse the perimeter.
