Rustic chicken coop
I needed to refurbish the hen house for the girls. I decided that the two main aims for a good hen house must be :
to be made of found or repurposed materials
to be amazingly cute and quirky
(and of course to be cosy and rainproof)
So after much sketching, planning, measuring and research on Pinterest, I started assembling the materials. I used the old shiplap cedar boards that had be removed from our house, some leftover Shadowclad, all wood from my shed, a crate lid (door), left over paint, old corrugated sheet (traded for some eggs), and the old coop salvaged screws. The only things I had to get was stainless steel hinges, and polyurethane to preserve the door. I decided to put the next box inside (yet with external access) for cosiness and simplicity of construction.
The girls seem to love it!
