Coop - {design}

For those that know me - I can be pretty picky about the way things look; they have to look good and have some pizazz - things have to have a little glamour. So - I've been on many web-sites viewing homemade chicken coops to get ideas and I think I've finally come up with a chicken coop design I can modify and live with.

It has a raised coop and nesting area allowing the run to go underneath for more room. I'm hopeing to enlisting the help of a friend's relative (mainly Jyl's dad) to help with putting together a material lists. I have an idea of what I need, but, professional help would make things a lot easier. And I'm all about the easy. I'm getting really excited especially since the snow has melted in the backyard.

GLITCH! - The raised bed I was going to originally use to outline the run is in the wrong spot, so I'm going to have to dig it up and move the railroad ties to another spot in the yard - but I'm keeping things in perspective - it's going to take some work to get things the way I want them work and time.

On the chicken front - Great News!!! I no longer have to order the chicks on-line. I'm picking them up at Tractor Supply. Evidently, they sale them every year for a couple of weeks - and they're sexed so I don't have to worry about getting any roosters. I'm going to the one off Irvington Rd. Talked to a lady there for a while and I think that's where I'll get most of the supplies. Exciting times ahead.

Will add pictures soon...
