I feel like chicken tonight!

 The race is on. Saturday morning, we cut plywood like crazy. Starting at 8am. Sorry neighbours.

 Walls!

 Chicken dance for a finished coop

 We had time to spare, so I put in a last-minute perch for the girls

 The egg farm

 3,000 birds were up for adoption

 Hank John hand picked the five best layers

 In the box they went for the 30 minute ride home. We forgot to bring a weight to put on top of the box, so when one escaped, we pulled over and tried to MacGyver the lid down.

 Here they are! Four happy chickens and one camera-shy party pooper.

Note that we used only the best bedding for our hens: the packing from my brother's fancy Laura Ashley wedding dishes. Now that's reusing.
