More on The Chicken Cottage Construction

It takes me way longer to share the photos than it actually took Farmer Chris to build the Chicken Cottage! Construction started May 18 and the girls moved in on June 19. 

Chris is a bit of a perfectionist so he's still trimming it out and touching it up and making adjustments here and there, but it's done!

They are in and have full use of their 16x8-foot run and an 8x4-foot coop that boasts a six-foot long roost and four cozy nest boxes. The nest boxes hang off the back of the coop with an easy-to-access egg gathering door on the outside. 

The gals turned 18 weeks old yesterday and we are still waiting on eggs! It could be anytime now but it could be as many as six more weeks. I'll keep you posted!
I've got a bunch of chicken posts for you now so if you've missed any or just want the full scoop...Check out these links below for pictures, posts, and even a video.

Take time this week to let the sun shine on your face and to gaze at the night time sky. Mars and Jupiter are very clearly visible in the early evening still! Cheers, Ramsey
