Figuring out how to make a floor and frame. (For all you folks who actually know how to do this stuff, please don't cringe too much. This is what's known as an internet/library crash course in building!)

Ready for walls, roof and nesting boxes.

Nearly finished. Michael was in charge of the pen. Big job, and he tackled it with all the precision of an endodontist!
Isaac showing us how the nesting boxes work. He especially loved those.
Fairly completed chicken coop. Just had to do the trim and paint. Some day I'll get to that. But for now it works. We know this because...

absolutely amazing. love the coop with the boxes so you don't even have to step a foot inside to get the eggs. Genius.
