My Hubby's Chicken Hobby (we call him the chicken whisperer)

[nicky]

While I am busy gardening my husband is busy pulling apart hardwood skids that he brings home from work to make the world's heaviest & cutest chicken coop. I'm very proud of all of his hard work. All of the wood has come from recycled skids! We are going to paint it in the spring to match the main house!

This is his rooster Napoleon in the doorway (named for his little man complex)

This is my one and only chicken, a ginger silkie named Zowie Bowie - her "hair" is just like David Bowie's in Labyrinth

This is one of his little Mille Fleurs - all of the hens are bantams.

And this is the long view with the completely covered outdoor "playpen"

The only problem is that the human house doesn't have a pretty gable window or a wrap around porch
