Hen House!

The coop is done, the coop is done!! (picture me jumping up and down) I love it! I drew up a design of how I wanted it and my Adam couldn't have built it better! We made it completely from scratch, having no building experience at all. I'm so proud of my handy man!
Our coop building endeavor:
Putting up the frame and cutting out the holes for the nest box. Kaleb was such a good little helper.

Mounting the nest box. I was very impressed with Adam's idea for a base to hold the weight of the box.
Adding the fun finishing touches that make it look great! I was so happy that we found this tiny window and had a box to put under it. And......
TADA! All done!
I'm going to add a cute something to the door too, maybe a rooster since we don't have one. It's so fun! And for a while my kids were able to use it as a club house :) And now I can move my little ladies in... and out of my basement! they like it too!!

Sweet! And oh my goodness the chicks are getting so big! I need to get down there again before they're all grown up. Plus I miss my big sister and wouldn't mind spending another weekend with her amazingness.
