Chicken Coop



School is winding down! Hurray! Ready for Summer and my kids to be home! My son finished all his full days and now just has random tests on some days and my Caitlin has only full days up until next Tuesday! Did you get all that? I know that sentence was a little crazy :)   We had her field day which was so fun! Lots of games.


  We have been so busy outside --my husband is building our deluxe coop for Frankie and Carol and the bunnies too! It is looking amazing. My son and I were spreading mulch in the flower beds and that was Sunday! A great day.
I know it's hard to see with just photos but the coop is quite large. Billy just has to build the rear part of it which is the bunk house aka as the nesting boxes. Then when it is all done it will be painted a burgundy color.


 
What you see is the front and then it is "L" shaped in the rear.
 
 It would easily hold more than two chickens and three bunnies! Above it, is Caitlin's playhouse which is also being redone.
 
We have had so much rain! Tropical Storm Andrea's rains came our way and washed out our Brownies camping trip which was supposed to be Friday night into Saturday but we got 2" of rain. We rescheduled, obviously! I'm not sleeping in a puddle, thank you! At least some of the weekend was salvageable!

Before I go, I wanted to show you the amazing mouser made by Buttermilk Creek Farms! I love mine so much! Check my sidebar and you will see all her creations!


Have a great day!
