............when your wife pretty much lets you do whatever you want. Whether it's climbing trips, buying new gear, or some other crazy idea. Amy has been wanting chickens for a while now, and finally decided to pull the trigger.
That meant I got to build a pen/coop. I thought I would have a little more time, but the chicks were getting big quickly so I had to expedite the building process. Here is the basic framing, and painting.
After the initial painting there was still more work to do.
The roof made it nicer to work on it inside the pen.
We had six chicks, but two ended up being roosters. We had to take them back to the feed store. We ended up with ten chicks. Try doing that math in your head.
We moved the chicks into the pen yesterday. I still have to finish the coop (which they won't need until probably October), and finish painting the door. Everyone seems pretty happy with the pen, and maybe now I will have time to post on Broken, Beat & Scarred a little more often.
