Chicken Coop Expansion

Last summer when we moved the new coop in we immediately begin making plans for an expansion.  The 8 hens we have didn't seem to have much room to move around in the 4 by 8 foot main floor of the original coop, although we really liked the design and overall appearance.  We have now added a 12 by 4 foot run so they can more easily stretch their legs.  Just another project we have been wanting to do for along time.


Wire fencing must be buried along the entire parameter to prevent animals from digging under.


The chickens enjoy their new addition.

 Dan also put up some birdhouses he made. Ahh...spring is in the air!
