Coop Upgrade!

I have been hinting rather strongly to my sweety that my chickens need a laying box attached to their coop! The old (clean) litter box was O.K., but I wanted room for two chickens to lay if the urge came at the same time! He started by cutting the sides.

Here it is starting to come together.

I took the plywood side off the coop and removed the wire. Then I cut two entry holes into the plywood.

Adding a little extra bracing.

The plywood back on the coop with the holes cut for entering the laying box.
Attaching the laying box to the coop.


Checking out the egg access door. We will add tarpaper and shingles to the roof. I also need to Kilz and paint it. I can't wait to get it finished! The girls are already using it! They have given it a wing up!

Barn additions!

We had a pretty busy weekend! It was so busy, I will be able to blog about it all week! haha. My sweety put the rooster door knockers on my barn doors for me. I guess it might seem weird to put door knockers on barn doors, but I like the way they look. They also do a great job holding the towel after washing and drying our hands in the sink just behind the barn. (It is in the shadow on the right of the barn.)

Bunco Winner!

Boy am I behind! A whole week behind! LAST Friday, my sister-in-law, Marie hosted our Bunco group. I rolled the most Buncos! This was my prize. I love it. It also had a sweet surprise on the inside!
All it is missing is the ice!
