Building chicken house #3

April 16-20

One of our big projects this year was to fence a new area that wraps around the North and East sides of the main garden for a summer chicken yard. Dennis drove most of the ten-foot pipes we used for posts. I stretched most of the five-foot welded wire fencing and strung the heavy-duty deer barrier mesh for the upper three-and-a half feet of the height. The area has two gates, made by Dennis, hung in doorways designed and built by committee (both of us).

This new “summer” chicken yard needed housing, so I designed a chicken house large enough for the growing flock. Dennis and I both worked on building it. I painted at early stages when I could reach everything more easily.
