HELLO & welcome to Garden Daddy here at the urban farm! I can FINALLY breath a sigh of relief and near exhaustion with the completion of the chicken coop and run. All I really have to do is add wire to the top of the open run area, add a shade awning I got (a green fiberglass corrugated material) and dig down about 6-8"and add some chicken wire buried at the base of the fence. The wire on top is to prevent the hawk and other "air" predators as well as raccoons from climbing over the fence, the awning is for shade and the wire dug in at the bottom is for the "critters" that will either try to dig in for a drumstick or to keep the chickens from digging out when they do their "scratch"!
You see here your Garden Daddy mixing concrete to set post, then another shot of the finished shed before the floor is put in and then the finished project except for the overhead screening to keep the predators out and hens in. I am very please with the outcome of this project and hope you will be encouraged to let your mind wander through childhood memories of life in simpler times and when "eggs at the door" were the norm. By the way this was written yesterday but I only had time today, Wednesday 04/07/10, to add the photos. Another post will follow this one with a surprise!
So I leave you this day with our ongoing gardening affirmation in mind: "GARDENING: ONE YARD AT A TIME!"
