the chicken coop

so we have begun working on the chicken coop. the previous owner left much to be desired with the upkeep and design of their coop. frankly- it was disgusting. ~DISGUSTING~ i cannot imagine eating eggs that came from such a gross place. so we are cleaning and tearing apart/re-building this large hen house to make it livable for chickens...i am sorry to not include pictures-but you don't want to see, trust me! we even found 10 1year old Banti eggs in on of the nesting boxes--EWWWWW we are also still working on getting up a fence for the dogs-
here is a picture of my husband and Ben working on the fence

  2. What kind of chickens do you (or will you) have? I have some Barnevelders and a single ornamental (because she doesn't lay any bloody eggs!) Silver laced Wyandotte.
