ole jeff was here for a lovely week of feasting, unpacking, dice rolling, and some good old fashioned manual labor. here he helps with the design and execution of the run. neil and i finished it off after he flew away back to CO...well, mostly neil did the cage work, but check out the nesting boxes i made all by myself. we relcaimed some redwood fencing to make all the boxes and ramps. we salvaged old fencing for the run and jeff and neil cut fir saplings for the posts. the coop it self if an old rabbit hutch were someone used to raise them up for sale. total out of pocket cost: about $5 in screws and such. this bear proof building has proven to be a life saver after hearing countless horror stories of raising live stock in the country, we are lucky to have been provided with such a sound shelter. this is where our 8 current layers reside. they actually love the nesting boxes now and lay all their eggs in there instead of all over the floor like before.
