Really cute, but have you thought about how you're going to retrieve any eggs that get laid under there?THIS IS MY COOP !
This is a frontal view of the coop itself. It's painted to match our house.
This is the inside of the coop, now. These are just the usual perches for them at night and the nest boxes. I forgot to get pics of the perches
The opening for the chickens to get in and out is just a hole in the floor. They use it really well. No drafts get in and it makes for easy cleaning, too !
The run was originally enclosed fully, but over time, though I only had 4 chickens at the time, I felt it was to small. They were just walking around in dirt. Can't be to fun I imagine so... we cut a hole in the wire around it and built a big pen for them ! (Which of course meant we needed more chickens)
Inside the pen is a big Mulberry tree. The chickens LOOVVVEE it. The mulberrys drop and they eat them up. THe tree also provides great shelter from the sun.
There's also a plant in there overrun by some weed but they don't mind. They enjoy hiding under it.
Then we have a few small pine trees in there. 2 of which are dead but like it matters to them, right ? Haha. Under them is there favorite dust bathing spot.
Hope you guys enjoy
