Day 12 - Monday morning, and the girls were eagerly waiting to enter the garden. I fed them, opened the gate and excitedly thought that today was the day the screed for the floor was going to be done! Tomorrow we could start painting and then the girls could move in! The time was nigh!
At the end of Day 12, the floor was done and we were just waiting for it to dry so that the painting could start.

Day 14
Day 14 - The painting of the outside of the coop was finished and the workers ended the day by cleaning up, removing all their tools and now the rest was up to me!
Thursday, Day 15 - I was up bright and early and started preparing the inside for the girls, as I would like them to move in before the weekend. I prepared the nest boxes, filling them with some lovely fresh grass while Solly constructed a roost for me.
Day 15 - the new roost with fresh grass underneath to catch droppings
Day 15
Day 15 - Yesterday Solomon finished with the outside painting quite early, so I asked him to construct a divider wall at the one end of the coop as I needed some space to house tools, buckets, food and the like.
End of Thursday, Day 15, and tomorrow is the big move. I can hardly wait! See you soon with the last episode!

That looks magnificent. Quite a chicken palace. Hope they appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot John! And I think they do appreciate it, some days I can't get them to go outside!
