The coop is progressing and the chickens seem to like it. We finally collected enough tin cans to finish the "siding" (it's harder than you think! Most tin cans have a rounded bottom these days, but you need the kind with a bottom ring so you can remove both ends.)
This is the view from inside the run. The walls are constructed but not sided yet.
Here is the bottom floor. We used poultry feed bags as flooring to keep the wood dry. We are trying to make almost everything from recycled materials.

Brooding box I made.
Bedding is in, looks cozy!
Clean and ready to go, now just waiting for night to fall.
I snuck a picture of the upstairs patrons..
And our ladies who prefer the downstairs!
Get a good night sleep ladies. In a few weeks you will be producing eggs!
