Roosts are in.

They're not the most beautiful things in the world, but I got the roosts in with a poop board underneath. I installed them after covering more of the wall with plywood to the side and back of the roosts. I also worked on the pop door opening, making the bottom more watertight and adding the trim to the outside.



Not sure if there's enough room for them, but it'll have to do.

The trim around the pop door. Once I get the trim on the two corners on this side, I can work on attaching the run. Then I need a door on the pen area entrance and an entrance door to the coop and I can move them in while I finish the rest of the trimming, painting, etc.

The girls got to enjoy the outside again today after the rain stopped this morning and the sun came out.

Just as I snapped this photo, a Barred Plymouth Rock attempted to fly up on the waterer. I have a plastic pitcher on top though, to keep them off the waterer so they don't constantly crap in their water.

Oh yeah, as you can see, Sarah broke her right arm. She did that last Sunday when she and Isaac were playing around the playhouse. She managed to fall off the slide.

  1. Hey - it's looking great! Congrats on all the progress. Bummer about Sarah's arm. Doesn't look like it's slowing her down too much, though!
