What a good lookin' coop!

Well, here it is! Beautifully purple and hot pink - for the ladies, of course! The chickens took a little while to get oriented with the new abode and its amenities, but they've got the hang of it now. After about a week 3 of them learned how to go up to the brooding house on their own; a few days later 2 others figured it out...and the last chicken...well, she needed a little help. I gave her some private lessons on the ladder and now all 6 of them have mastered the ladder.



Fury is enjoying her lower perch. Mama is nibbling on some tasty carrot greens from the Farmers Market.


Look at Mama's fro!! Coco is the beautiful white one with feathery feet and Sis is in the front. Isa is hiding - she doesn't like her picture being taken :)

What a cool coop! Can you show us the chickies in action, going up the ladder? The boys would love that!
