The coop is starting to look like a coop. I framed the walls during the week, put siding on the walls on Saturday, and framed the roof on Sunday. I also started digging the trenches for the run walls. I went to Urban Ore to get the reclaimed lumber for the siding. It looked like they were previously used as concrete forms. I picked up some 2x4s too, which I wish I had done from the beginning instead of the Home Depot ones. Now I just need to finish the other two sides, one as a big door and the other with the nesting boxes, plus the run.
The chicks are no longer chicks, rather they look like actual chickens. They were in a teenage stage for a while but now they're almost completely feathered out and growing fast.It'll still be a few months before they start laying but we're ready to move them out of the house as soon as possible.
