Here are the four ladies new to our backyard. Hopefully they'll like their digs and spacious living quarters. These birds are nearly 2 years old. I couldn't deal with raising wee chicks this spring. Maybe next year.
We completed the run this morning. Stretching flimsy chicken wire as tight as possible is not fun. The twine strung along the top portion of the picture is to support the hops that are just beginning to grow toward the garage.
The number 34 ramp. Again, all wood is re-purposed. Only the hardware, chicken wire, feeder and waterer are new. So far, a very thrifty process.
The boudoir, complete with the chicken equivalent of silk sheets.

Congratulations on your new arrivals! I am so impressed (as ever), with everything that you do. Your chickens are very sweet and I hope thay start laying for you really soon. What lucky girls they are!
Very nice! I love that re purposed things to do this!
I think Mo is a tad jealous, lol. I like the idea of chickens.
This is so fun to read about! Now that you are off call for a little while I will come bug you. Although, now I am on call... haha!
Your bbq idea sounds fabulous! :)
I live in Ypsilanti too and would love to get some chickens, did you check with the city or did you just go for it. Where can find the "city rules" about this stuff.
They look so delicious! I am digging the coop integrated into the garage, but sacrificing garage space would be too tough for for me.
