Chicken Coop - Updated Jan 14

Ambitions are Like Ideas - Let the Best Prevail I Say!

U no how it goes don’t ya?

Edit - 11625 - 1812 - the job is finished:

I reckon I be advised to seek out some “cold-weather” hens - I don’t mind if the eggs aren’t as frequent - just when you lay an egg - make it worthwhile please - madam hen.

Ps - Go Bills!

You wouldn’t believe how that “bunting” been blowing in the wind….

Go Bills!

~~~~ this ought be the final edit…. ~~~~~

Consider this “trippy” image…..

But seriously - read below about just how easy it is to get a chicken coop going!

~

So, I ordered a fairly simple small-scale “chicken coop” and delivery was much quicker then expected and the post office folks were getting annoyed with the packages, but while I was waiting for a package that required “my signature” that was delayed now mind ya - turned into a chicken coop got picked up late, but I got it today (11325).

EDIT - EDIT - EDIT - 11425 1641

Chicken coop is basically constructed - there are a few steps to go. Overall I’m pleased with quality (there was one piece - “Piece X” - a support bar that could have been better designed, but otherwise I think it is pretty decent quality given the price paid). The assembly instructions are in need of considerable improvement and there may be some really simple things they could change that would go a long way to avoiding confusion - I mean I’ve put a fair amount of this sort of “pre-fab” structures together, but I won’t deny I made several mistakes along the way……and I was trying to be careful - oh well. At least most of the mistakes I realized fairly soon and was able to make corrections without having to “re-do” too much…..and really, the reality of this sort of structure is after the “first-time” I can usually do it the next time more than twice as fast. This job called for “two installers”, but I was able to do it on my own. The manual said “30 minutes” when there are two - and that may be the case but hells-bells it took almost that long just to get all the pieces out of the cartons and separated.

Anyhow - here are a few images - in reverse order:

There is a “tarp” that goes over the small caged “run” - and a few other pieces I haven’t fully connected yet, but this is pretty much it - the future home of three or four hens I reckon.

Another view…..

This shows a bit of the interior area prior to adding the “run”

This thing has a “lot of pieces” - I’m glad is is basically finished. I’m ready for fresh eggs soon!

(OK - this is an edit from 11325 - hells bells - I got so much “material” - you wouldn’t believe me if I told you - so I wont! - here is some more - on this edit - tis 11325 1735 as I’m typing in “real time” - here goes - pictures recent):

$379 is the price - and that includes delivery. I’ll provide a review after I have that coop together tomorrow - and really the Bills-Ravens game - it has the making of a classic - but I hope tis an easy win for the Bills - cause come on - have you seen Hamlin lately - #3 - have you seen the hard tackles he has been making? I have - it gives me hope that there is a cure.

Anyhow - all I got left to get is the chickens - cause this coop is built tomorrow - you can bank on it.
