Coming Home to Chick Coop Dreams
Monday, August 2, 2010 at 01:17PM While I was away my amazing husband printed out my coop design plans and got to work making the fairytale-cottage-coop dream, a reality.
Obviously, we're still not done, but all my hub did on his own is absolutely stunning :))
I'm in awe of it every morning when I look out my bedroom window to my yard.
Since I've been home we got the run built and added a roosting pole into both the coop n run, the quirky 20-something yr. ol' (7-8wk old) chicks love it! and So do my babies Chulo and Chica!
What's left to do:
Well I already ordered the small operable window and that should be arriving later this week.
We're going to place it on the front rightside of the coop.
Then I'm going to make shutters & a window flower box.
Siding n lots of paint.
Inside- we're adding 2 more roosting poles and insulating the inside walls in Sept.
A few nesting boxes still need doors and the run/coop door needs a pulley system...
then I think we can call it done. Hooray!

Wow, this is looking amazing, even better than I could've imagined! I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's finished.
I just came back from my vacation and am trying to get back into my blog-schedule. I'm glad to see things are going well for you.
Art school starts in just a few weeks, I'm very excited! Do you still have time for your art? Or are the chickens taking up all your time?
OMG! It's so awesome, I love it! I'm so jealous of your coop! My boyfriend has been hearing about how I want pet chickens ever since you posted about it the first time! LOL
Very impressive! I especially love the roofline. Gives it a fairytale feel.
ahhhhh i love seeing this how it is right now. It's really cool to see the progression of building through your blog! Can't wait to see the final painted version of it.
