We started building our chicken coop. Tom calls it the chicken palace because he thinks I want it too big and fancy. I wanted at least 10x10 and he wanted something like 6x8. Tom found these old telephone poles laying around on our property and since they were the right height, we used them as the corner posts. We got that done on Saturday. Then I convinced Tom to take a break and not work on it Sunday afternoon. On Monday we got more of the frame up and put a window in. Then we went and bought a storm door for it.

Yeah, you definitely want it big enough so that you and the chickens can be in there at the same time..I would think it would make for lots of broken eggs if you're constantly bumping into the walls.
Keeping inline with the chicken palace theme..you should put queenly things in there..like paint a crown over each little nesting area and stuff like that..of course, only in your spare time will you be able to do that.
Hey, now that I look at the location its at..I thought you were going to put it over by the garden?
We thought that if we put it by the garden, the chickens would get in there and eat our plants. This is the second best place - halfway betweey the house and barn with trees for shade.
betweey? really?..betweey?..that must be the farm word for between..LOL
Ya just have to say it with enough Texas twang.
Did you have a piece of straw stuck in your mouth at the time?
You should download the Green Acres theme song and have it play through-out the house..that would be a HOOT!
Hey, if I knew how to play music on my blog, I could do that!
