Phases of the Coop

Chickens are growing up! With bigger chicks comes bigger homes

They start off so cute..
Next they moved to a bigger box --- but the predators could watch too closely. Up yet another size. ..
... this is chicken stadium. They hung out in the stadium for a couple of weeks until they could fly up and perch on the edge.
Next comes the rabbit cage. This was the home yet! No flying out. But the messiest cuz they scratch and kick everything everywhere!
Now Ben's working on the Chicken palace. HUGE wood coop 9 feet long and 4 feet wide..
So far keeping chickens is super easy and the only time i have to fuss with them is to upgrade the housing unit. Though, they are pretty stinky.

Looks like fun! I want to get some chickens one day. i think they are so funny to watch. Not to mention all of the bugs that they eat...
