I spent the morning cleaning out the chicken coop. Certainly not the best job around but it needed to be done. The chickens had worked their other bedding into fine particles so it was starting to get dusty in there. But it really wasn’t that bad to do. Just put on a face mask and hoody jacket. The girls really did like it all cleaned up!!
It is very hard to get decent pictures of these chickens. They move around a lot!!

I think this is a rooster…He might be the Brown Leghorn.
Here is a little update on the chicken coop project. The outside is done. We painted it red with white trim….which is the color it originally was back in the days. We still need to put the fence up.
The inside is done too. There are basically two rooms. The back 2/3 is for the chickens and the front 1/3 is for storage, etc.
The chicken coop is getting new shingles and siding. We had to have picked the hottest and most humid days to work on this outdoor project. Seriously it was 100+ degrees with all humidity. The sweat just poured off of us. I don’t think I have ever sweat this much…
Our chicken coop project has been found!!! We found this old chicken coop on an abandoned old farm. It is in considerable good shape considering it has not been used for a very long time.
We loaded up the old chicken coop and drove it 14 miles to it’s new home.
