Chicken Coop

Posted by  | Published in Family Fun  

We continually are losing chickens.  Doug currently has two traps set but that just doesn’t seem to be answering the problem.  So after some research we decided to fence in a small pen around the hen house door.  Yesterday Grandma and I dug post holes and concreted in the posts.  Today Doug put boards 5 feet up around the pen.  Hopefully the chickens will be able to fly to the top board and fly out for the day.  We then put fencing around the lower portion, then chicken wire over that and buried around the bottom, then four rows of barb wire between the top of the fencing and the board.  I don’t think any critters are going to make it past that!  Lastly Doug got a truck load of gravel that we filled the mini yard with.  This will help keep the mud out of the hen house during the winter months.
