It's that time of the year and my new addition to our farm is a chicken coop. I was determined to not spend much money on it...............as I am a super frugal person and find it quite challenging and fun to recycle everything that I can. :-) As it turns out, I was able to recycle the lumber from a barn being torn down, recycle the tin from my neighbors horse barn scraps and once I stained/water sealed the lumber it looks good as new! (I think!) The only thing I ended up having to purchase was the chicken wire. I hope to add another one next month! I know its not a "coop de'ville" but as long as my chicks are happy & content, all is well! :-)
