Paula constructed a simple chicken shelter the other day, assembled from left-over plywood, wood from demolition work in the house, and old metal barn roofing from Mike M. It has a nice, country-modern look to me. There are two old windows, too, and chickens keep bumping into the window pane at ground level. Eventually, they will figure it out.

Meanwhile, in the garage, the main chicken coop waits for us to finish it. It’s looking really good, built like a fortress, but we still need to put the wheels on and get it out of the garage. And we need to decide precisely where the coop is going to be. It’s up for debate at the moment.

Lastly, a chicken doodle. I find myself making little sketches of chickens.
