Day One - Beginning Chicken Coop Construction


Getting started.


Making the layout.


Equipment.


Nailing it down.


The plywood.


The netting we're going to be using. Look at that cute chicken on the label!


The saw.


Stapling the netting onto the wood to make sure nothing can get into it.


Getting the top of the pen ready.


The bottom.


Nailing the top boards together.


Making sure everything measures right.



Nailing.


My grandma.


Nailing the boards for the nesting place.


Trying to get the right roofing measurements.


Getting a good plan for the roof.


Where the nesting place is going to be.


Marking the boards to make sure everything is right.


Making sure things are straight.


Had to go to Lowes; we ran out of wood!


This is what we have at the end of the day. Packing things up and getting in the house now!


Better view of how far we've gotten today.


A bunch of wood we'll be using later.


Here's a picture of the chickies! Rooster on the left, hen on the right.


Again; rooster on the left, hen on the right.
