One of our favorite places to spend time is in and around our chicken coop.
Most of our feathered friends began in our home, raised by my daughter in her room,
until they were ready to go to the coop.
This is how our coop looked just after it was constructed.
We soon learned that we would need to provide a decent amount of shade
(as Phoenix temperatures can get over 120 degrees!)
We installed fans inside the two coop areas and have learned to spray down the
floors often in those super hot summer months.
And what's a coop without a chandelier?
I bought an old brass one at an auction and spray painted it white.
(I think it makes the girls happy)
Here's the coop today:
Our handsome Roo, Abigail.
(Obviously, we were hoping for a girl)
I always say the chickens have the best views!
(Notice all the dirt kicked out of the flower beds)
Now that's pure farm joy!
One of our sweet little silkies.
We built this pergola and swing just outside the hen house mainly because I felt guilty that I kept finding my daughter doing her homework on the chicken coop floor!
Snuggling with your chickens in the spring on a swing- love it!
Wishing you a wonderful day!
