Our new little red coop

Here are some details on the coop:

I finally decided on a paint color, RED, and here are a few photos of the almost finished coop.  Just need to do the roof and then some small finishing up stuff.  I spent the day weeding the area where the chicks will be living, so things are really moving along.  Good thing too, because the chicks are quickly out-growing their temporary living conditions in a cardboard box.  And, they have figured out how to tip over the watering station so that the box got all soggy and fell apart.  good thing I had a spare box the same size, thanks to the fact that my daughter recently purchased something that came in really big boxes.  Here are a few photos of the coop in its new color!

The nest boxes hang on the outside, so you don't need to disturb the princesses when collecting eggs...in my dreams anyway.

Here is a picture of the "chick door", notice how it slides up and down.
