Keeping Chickens Newsletter

Thanks to Sheila Johns for the above coop photo

"I am in love with my Rhode Island Red hens. I have 7 of them and they have grown quite large now. Got them in mid-March. I designed a coop and my husband had it built for me. I happened to have a empty dog kennel 6.5x8.5 feet I had the coop put inside of this and then we put a roof on it. I also placed chicken wire all around the pen for protection from other critters who might want them for a snack. They seem to be happy with their home. It has a slider window inside, 3 nesting boxes and several perches for them. It also is vented on one side for more air, plus door in front. It has a sand bottom over rocks below coop. It is changed regularly and cleaned.

Just thought I would share my wonderful experience with you.............!"
