New coop

We have a little cottage right next to the house that used to have chickens on the ground floor, and seed storage on the first floor. We will convert it to a little guest house eventually.

We decided to put our future flock of hens in the barn, as it stays warmer over winter, and has running water and electricity. The far left corner of the barn where cows once were milked, we have cornered off a space with some spare wood and chicken wire. Jay has built a door and the framework, and we've worked on the lovely nesting boxes together. I'll post pics when it's finished. We've probably spent a good six working days on it so far, and we're really quite chuffed with it, considering neither of us are builders or carpenters lol
