The job is done!

Our chickens joined our home in September. Building a coop for them has been an ongoing project since that time. Luckily, they weren't big enough to need a full sized coop for the first few months. I am pleased to report that as of today each and every aspect of the coop and adjoining run is now complete. We also installed a nest box. The chickens don't quite know what to think of the entire thing as of yet. We put them in the run and they seemed completely confused with being a more open space. After about 20 minutes two of them went back inside the coop and stayed there. One of them is a bit more adventurous and she stayed outside in the run for another hour or so. I believe it is going to take them some time to realize that they can investigate the entire coop and run. I am just glad to be done with the project!
