Last evening Frank and I banged out three and a half sides for our new chicken pen. The night before that we did the first half of one, and figured out what we were going to build, the design of it, that is. This is our first farming structure!
We used lumber from our house, that we took out of a closet in the half-finished basement, and we needed some more, and our neighbor had old lumber lying outside, he was doing some kind of renovation in his house, so he said take as much as we want. Mighty neighborly.
I’ll be stapling the chicken wire on the frames today, and starting to put the corners together … and Frank will help me finish that. We’ll contrive some kind of roof and a box for the layers to do their thing in.
We’ll have 7 to 10 layers in there tonight! Yippee!
