Me and Mr. Construction
A view from my deck. The chickens will have a 30 foot run in total. The dirt to the left will become grass and the pavers on the right cover 12 feet. You can see the coop being built on the right, about 16 square feet, which should be plenty of room for 4 hens. We are planning on building a gate to separate the grass from the rest of the run so that we can give it time to grow back. The hens will also be allowed to roam the backyard on occasion under supervision.

Working on the first wall
The first two walls are up! The nesting box will attach on the right side where the hole is.
The work took longer than I had anticipated but this is what we got done in two nights and a Saturday. There will be more pictures to come and hopefully my next post will show the finished coop.
awesome! I told you about the time we had a chicken in Port moody right? She just roamed the yard, but twice she ended up in neighbours yards and my dad would have to go get her. It was like easter every week trying to find where she had made her new nest!
