Ever since we moved, I’ve been thinking about getting chickens.  Not entirely sure why, but they seem like they would be fun.  I’ve been half-heartedly searching Craigslist for the last 6 months or so looking at chicken coops.  They all seemed either ridiculously expensive or really shoddy.  Plan B was building one.  Procrastination pays off sometimes, though: a coworker was giving this away to make room for a bigger coop!  What luck!

I just need to reinforce a few of the joins, reattach the ramp, and line the bottom with hardware cloth, and it’ll be good to go.  We also need to put in a gate so the chickens can range around in the back yard.  I signed up for the city chickens class from Seattle Tilth, but we’ll see if I can actually wait until September….
