Chicken Club House

Inside the "club house"

Bob and I finished making the "Chicken Club House." It is made from 2 doors that were scrap.  Sort of an A-frame.  For now I have the ugly curtains that were on the nursery for warmth draped over the top.  It was all made out of scrap wood upcycled to give them a  6.5 ft. X 3ft. sleeping pen.  Next we will build the bottom square nesting box (a giant shoe box shape.)  This a-frame will serve as the roof.  They will have plenty of room to perch and sleep through the summer until eggs start to appear in September.

I feel a bit guilty and sad.  I put the two roosters that constantly fight, and 3 of the Brahma hens on Craig's List.  A lovely man is coming to get them tomorrow.  He's a deacon.  Back in Illinois I had a priest from Joliet that used to buy my fancy roosters.  He had one IN the rectory!  I have 4 Brahmas, and will keep the tamer of the 4.

I am still hoping to get 4-5 Australorp chicks. They would go in the nursery, until they got bigger.  They are such a big bird, that it will be easy to blend the flock when the time comes.  However, I have not heard from the man who was supposed to sell them to me at the end of May. Hmmm.

Thanks Bob!  They love their new home.
