The Hen House

Love and eggs are best when they are fresh. ~ Russian Proverb

The kids' former playhouse has been converted into the hen house. What happy little hens I have. What a happy little chicken rancher I am. To those who helped with this project, thank you...thank you for all the love that went into this sweet coop. :O)

It has a trap door underneath with a ladder, a door on the left side to gather the eggs when they start to laying, a full door on the back that allows me to walk inside to clean and feed, and it has an enclosed playpen. It took Scott and I two weekends and some help from friends to get it done.

The first night it took me 45 minutes to get them to go up the ladder and inside for the night. That was quite discouraging. The next night they had figured it out on their own and I was a proud mama!
