Swoonworthy...

Now this is my kinda chicken coop...
or should I say chicky condo!!!
You simply must go check out this coop over at
THE FANCY FARMGIRL!
Click on 'The Farm' and it will take you to that particular post...
SWEET!!!

Back to reality...
Well, back in the day, I used to raise chickens, lots of chickens...
and wild turkeys n Canada geese n ducks of all sorts n peacocks n guineas
n Embden, Toulouse and Pilgrim geese n pheasants...
boy, those were the days and boy do I missum!
Oh yeah...let's not forget the POOP!!!
Lots n lots of poop!!!

I want to have a chicken coop built, so I been surfing the web...
cute huh...though not quite for me...talk about meals on wheels!

Now this is sweet...wouldn't it be cute painted pink...

This one is really cute too...love all the windows!

OK...maybe if I lived in the back hills...
talk about recycling...LOL!

This is absolutely adorable, but I'm afraid the hens would
have to fight me for the space...

too too...

Now this is what I'm talkin' about!!!
This is what my shed guy and I were talkin' about...an out-house!
I only want a few hens...and this model is a two-holer
and will accommodate two nesting boxes just spiffy
and room enough for a garbage can for the feed...
hey, it's a matter of budget here...and less is more, right!
I just want a few heirloom hens...the ol'timey reliable type...
Barred Rocks...the checkered chickens...nice plump hens with ginormous
brown eggs...mmmmm...egg salad

Besides, I know what happens when you get too many hens...EGGS...
lots n lots of eggs...
and varmints,
they come out of the woodwork when you have meals on wheels!

YUP...I have a dream...
hey I live in Iowa...and I'm a farm-girl wannabe!
Me and Scratchy...and THE GIRLS!

SWEET!
