So Mothers Day and Gma's birthday are usually one in the same, so I surprised her by getting her a book, and some other chicken necessities, and told her I had been secretly building a chicken coop. So we (CJ and I ) proceed to try and complete the hen house. I decided to try and make it kinda nice in case I had to move into it some day.
Is this a surprised look, or what?

We I think it was around May 14th when we told GMa about it, but several things popped up, including someones wedding, delaying the project. We finally put the finishing touches on the coop today, July 8th. We had to get it done because we now need to turn our attention into preparing the back yard for another wedding!
Famers GMa and GPa!
Stay tuned. We hope to get chickens next weekend!
Awesome! That is definitely the nicest coop I have ever seen. Great job JIm and Cayden! I am glad he got to help out. Can't wait to see the chickens.

ReplyDeletelol looks great!!!
ReplyDeletei will need a coop built at my house too if there are to be any chicken slumber parties at my house
ReplyDeleteYou guys are hilarious and I can't wait to read and see some more progress reports and pictures. I hope it all goes well. If you get different kinds of chickens you can have a variety of sizes and colors in the eggs... the colors can be way amazing. Love, Gail
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Jim -- that last photo -- I mistook you for the Australian!
