Renovation Day

This past Saturday was a gorgeous sunny 75 degree day

so we decided it was a good day to move the new chickens in

and upgrade the old coop.

The plan consisted of moving the side of the coop 1.5 feet

to add more floor space.

Martha Stewart was not happy about all the noise and bailed out of the coop.

In fact, there needed to be a couple of "egg breaks"

so the hens could lay their eggs. 

The other part of the renovation was adding 2.5 feet to the run

and making the run the same height as the coop.

Here is the mostly finished project.

All I need to do is paint it 

and make some "chicken furniture".

The new chickens were moved in

and that meant everyone is stuck in the coop 

for a few days until the new girls get used to the new home.

Bertha, the Queen Bee of this coop, was not very happy 

to find the old doorway was now closed off.

She's also not very happy that there are new chickens around.

In fact, I had to take the smallest chicken back home

as she was pecked and was bleeding.

She's now back in the house recovering.

Hopefully quickly!
