We lucked out on a coop. My husband was talking to the husband of one of my coworkers and told him that he had
to build me a chicken coop this weekend and he really wasn't looking forward to it since we didn't agree on construction. :) Lo and behold, they had an 8ft x 6ft kids playhouse that they didn't want anymore and couldn't get rid of it!!! They just delivered it a few hours ago.

Not only did he NOT have to build it, it was FREE!!! The floor is semi-rotted, but we're going to knock it out and use the deep litter method anyway. It needs the windows screened, nest boxes and a roost and a good paint job! It's on it's
side in our driveway right now.

DH made a small, portable run for the girls (they are 2 months old), but I have to break the bad news that it needs to be bigger. :)
