...with hammer & nails

Mike and I are anticipating the arrival of our pullets next weekend. We decided not to get chicks so we don't have to buy all the extra equipment to raise them up right (some parents we'll make). The pullets will be around 20 weeks old so they will practically be full grown hens and ready for a coop. We converted an old rabbit hutch into a coop with a roost and two nest boxes. Then we enclosed the area around the coop with fencing to give the hens some room to run around during the day. It might be a little on the ghetto side, but we did this without much of a plan and it turned out great. As long as it keeps the rats, skunks and racoons out we will be happy. So here it is...
