When you have been out of the raising chickens lifestyle for about 20 years changes happen. Like a Tornado hitting and taking out the old chicken coop. Darling son and I have been hashing over new coop plans. I've come to the conclusion that he has a lot of his grandpa in him. He doesn't mind spending lots of money for a project, especially if it's his parents money. I on the other hand do not want to end up eating eggs that cost me $33.oo's each :( I think I found my new coop design. Here's a picture of it that was posted at BackYardChickens.Com I love the touch of whimsy, plus the fact that I found 3 of the playhouse's listed on craiglist for $30.00. Yep I think this is going to be my new coop.
When I was little and lived near Los Angeles I had a little hen as a pet. Bet you can't do that any more. She would look for bugs in the garden in addition to the feed we gave her. Funny, I remember the chicken but not the eggs. That looks like a pretty fancy hutch. Good thing you have lots of space. - Margy
