ADVENTURES OF THE CANADIAN FAMILY ROBINSON

We built our chicken coop with mainly recycled materials and built it as a family project. Our metal roof is “rustic” and recycled, cedar siding we were given as scraps from a awesome guy at a local mill, OSB was given to us, plywood flooring we had, fencing materials given to us by a friend who tore down here goat fence to rebuild so was scraping these pieces. We had to buy some 2 by 4s for framing and roof framing (we had about 1/3 of what we needed here). We are happy with how our little coop turned out and the chickens seem pretty happy too! We have 17 chickens in there now and one of them Blackie is a broody cochin, she was not wanting to get off the eggs so we got her some fertilized eggs to sit on, she is sitting on 7 eggs that will hopefully hatch next Thursday into chicks!
