Chicken House is almost ready:

I haven't had much time to work on the chicken house this spring but I do have it ready to paint on the inside.  We have decided on a nice eggshell white (even though the chickens we will be housing here will be laying brown eggs).  After the interior is painted the dividing wall will need the chicken wire stretched on it and the door made and hung and then the nest boxes assembled and painted, then we will be ready for little peepers.  Hopefully by June.

This side is for the chickens.

This side is for grain storage.  We will use some metal barrels with secure lids to keep pests out.


This photo shows the chicken door opened.  It slides up and down in the wooden track.  I will attach a hook to keep it open.
