Building the final stages of a backyard chicken coop: adding braces, installing wire, and a raccoon-proof door. They fill it with water, roosts, and a sling, then release the chickens to explore their new run.
Happy Saturday! All right, biggest thing on the agenda today is expand the chicken coop. So talked about this last week. I'm going to run this out here, going to clean all this up. We're going to build right here. Yep.
All right, quick update.
Getting the framework on. Got a couple more braces to put in, and then I'll start with the chicken wire. But it's a really nice expansion. All right, today is Sunday and this is what I have left. This little section right here that needs chicken wire, and this piece here, and the top. And then I have completed a pretty extensive expansion of their little chicken coop. So I came over here, I built a little walk-in door for me, put a latch on it that should be raccoon-proof. Looking good.
All right, let's get to it.
All right, chicken coop is finished. I got the water in there, I got the roost, I got their sling. I just got a big mess to clean up now. I guess is, can I get them to come out? Let's find out. Come on, ladies, come on! All the chickens are in the new run, exploring, doing chicken stuff. Look at that chicken scratch.
