At 8:30 yesterday morning our new chicken coop was delivered! We commissioned a local carpenter to build it for us. I think it turned out adorable. We requested that it be made from as much reclaimed items as possible. He did an amazing job with our specifications the only non-reclaimed item is the wire screen for the chicken run.

| Home Sweet Chicky Home! |
 |
| Four laying boxes w/ easy access for getting eggs and cleaning. |
 |
| The top is even ready for a garden roof to be planted! |
 |
| My research from the library to become a modern Agrarian. |
Once the coop was settled we, Peggy my partner in chicken crime and I, did a couple of finishing touches to get it hen fabulous before we picked up the girls from
HorseShu Ranch. We put a dowel in for them to roost, added pulls to the easy access "poop" drawer that slides out from the house, & we fox/raccoon proofed around bottom of the whole coop so they can not dig their way in.
At 5pm Peggy & I went across island to pick out our flock! We already had names decided upon so we looked for the bird to match each name.
 |
| Peggy immediately knew the black chicken was Elphaba (from Wicked) & her BFF Galinda was decided when we saw her feathered "shoes". |
 |
| This is madame Fluevog! Named after my favorite shoe designer John Fluevog. She is a Silver Laced Wyandotte. |

Hopefully once the get cozy in their new home they will start laying us lots of eggs! Get ready for loads of chicken fun with Peggy & I! B-Gawkkkk!
