Well here it is another Monday after a pretty busy weekend thank goodness. The funny thing is I got an interesting suggestion from one of my ‘guests’ this weekend. They asked me why I don’t have chickens to have fresh eggs for the guests since I have a garden to provide fresh vegetables for them? They were saying the chickens would also provide education and entertainment for the children since a lot of the city kids have never seen a chicken up close and personal or seen eggs being gathered either.
I thought that was an interesting question so I called a friend of mine that does all my repairs and building that I need done and asked him about building me a chicken coop. He said it wouldn’t take too awfully much to fix one since there’s already a small barn on my property. He said he could attach it right to the side of the barn and make it so that the nests are inside the barn in a small fenced in area where the kids can see the eggs in the nest but can’t get to them. He’s going to start on it tomorrow.
