They prefer to sleep on the poles rather than in the boxes.ĭuring the day, the chickens scratch and dust bathe in the chicken run.Īll of our girls are very friendly, and they love their meal worms! There are several roosting poles for the larger chickens to use. The bigger chickens, like Buffy, tend just to lay their eggs in the boxes and move on. The little Bantam chickens spend a lot of time in the nesting boxes during the day as well as sleeping in the boxes at night.
PATINA INTERIORS WINDOWS
We used chicken wire to keep predators out of the coop as well as to keep the chickens from flying the coop! Both windows can be closed to keep the chickens warm at night. There is a window on the two sides of the chicken coop to provide cross ventilation. Next to the boxes, we made a cabinet where we can store chicken treats and extra supplies. We made plenty of nesting boxes so that the girls wouldn't fight over them. I'm able to use part of the greenhouse as storage for the chicken feed. We turned the back panels of the greenhouse into doors. We can enter the new chicken coop through the front of the greenhouse. The chicken run is visible on either side of the greenhouse. I am happy to let you know that our new chicken coop is complete and ready to keep our hens warm. I love this time of year when the nights are chilly, and the shadows get longer.Īs I wrote about in a previous post, we decided to build a new coop for our chickens and turn our existing coop into a barn for the Babydoll sheep that will arrive at Patina Farm in the Spring. It's finally feeling a little more like Fall here in Ojai after several weeks of hot weather. I hope you all are having a wonderful Autumn.
