Chicken update....
We have been letting them get outside for 30 minutes a couple of times a day this week. They seem to love it. It is funny watching Emily try to transport them back inside. She is still using the box they came in but as they are bigger and have wings.... they fly out while she is trying to catch the second one. Silly chickens.
This is what we came up with for the future coop and the run area. We still need to finish securing the fencing to the middle posts and make the door but it is progress. They will start working on the coop area next to close it in and build the nesting boxes. We still have a few more weeks before we will move them out but progress is being made.

it is looking good - you guys have been building the whole thing yourself right - do the chickens need to get used to the heat so you bring them out for short whiles?? or just to get used to the enclosure?
WOW that is quite a building project you've undertaken...those chickens look so funny and cute--my Dad raised chickens for a year to save $$ to pay for college after High School..he used to talk about chickens all the time;))) It must be fun for he kids watching them grow and taking care of them...hugs from "humidity heaven" here Julierose
I'm envious of the chickens and future fresh eggs. That will be a great looking coop and area. I'm very interested in seeing how your diamond block worked out. I love these old designs with modern uptick. Clever you!
Those chicks are growing up fast--you will have fresh eggs before you know it!!! and that is a fancy set up for those gals--they are some lucky ones, that is for sure and it has been good for your kids and has helped keep them busy this summer--right???
luv, di
The chickens look like a lot of fun! The coop and run are really impressive, too. Last summer we went out to the county fair here, and walked around the animal displays. The chickens were the most fun! There are so many different varieties. How did you decide which kind you wanted to raise?
