Now we are about to welcome 10 new clucking girls to our new home (and theirs too) and it's on 10 acres of beautiful peaceful, calm country-side property.
We moved here during the warm Summer leaving the busy city life and arrived to a beautiful English-style cottage with many rooms and doors on all of them .... no open concept idea here!
Once the boxes were unpacked, the closets full of clothing, the walls freshly painted and the pantry stocked with food .... something was lacking.
So my doting hubby coerced his woodworking expert friend into the planning and implementation of none other than a chicken coop. It began with just the intention of 4 chickens - one for each daughter - but that idea got laughed at seeing as I only have one daughter left at home! So then it increased to 6 or 7 but grew to 10 when I found a farmer preferred to give me a minimum of 10. Watch this space for more news and pictures as the "girls" settle in. Here's a picture of their future home.

Can't wait to meet the new family members and I have a small person (or two) who I know will just love learning all about how to collect the eggs! ps I love that you have a blog and what a great writing concept! very original.
Woo hoo Ruthie has a blog! Looking forward to the tales.
Now go into setting and "allow followers"
Thank you for the comments (and much needed instructions too!). I can't wait now to write some more.
Happy Thanksgiving weekend!
Hoping you got some photos today...gotta say, it ain't as easy as it used to be but the coffee was plentiful and helped to counter that cold Fergus wind.
Next time hubby's looking for plans...let me have a look at 'em before he gives 'em the credit card number :)
Coming up Monday to finish it off.
Haha - thanks Rob ... it was a 5 star chicken resort he was thinking of I fear!!! Hopefully I can re-pay you in eggs soon!!
