Chicken Coop Progress

We are progressing well on our coop. However - the chicks are now four weeks old and we are running out of time. But it is ready enough that they can spend some time outside each day as long as it is warm enough. As you can see, the roof is not on yet.

Yesterday was 14C and a bit windy, but they went out anyway for about an hour and a half; they did not want to come in.











Here is the coop - standing. I primed/painted as we went so it would be easier.

















This is the back/side. You can see that it is completely blocked off at the back - it will have windows soon. The idea is to have it look like a shed to passerbys.

We aren't exactly illegal here - but the lack of a by-law doesn't mean that there won't be one passed if neighbours, dog-walkers or other nosies complain.

Actually, we consulted our immediate neighbours first - always a good thing in such cases.
