Chick adventures 3 - the coop

So we have18 chickens, and they are kool looking.  the kool thing is they are all different and don't look like the plain ones you always see.  We have a great variety and they should start laying in the next month.  yay!!!!!

Since the chicks have to grown into full chickens, we needed to have a chicken run for them to be able to have more space.

 
the Rubbermaid shed, had shelves and walks built in to make their coop and then the rest of the chicken coop with pvc, chicken wire and of course zip ties.
yep, poor mans coop.  but it works really well.

We've already had the test of rain and it held, we've had the squirrels trying to get in and i just recently learned squirrels dig tunnels in the ground.  who knew?  high winds and rain and my coop is still standing.  the best part is we can move it any where we want when we want.
