Coops Done...onto the run ☼

         Starting to get so excited about having chickens...now we just need to get them legal again haha. Working on that!!!!!! We got these coops at Dell's in Ephrata. they were pretty inexpensive. They open at the top and also have a cleaning tray at the bottom. We bought 2 coops hoping for 8 chickens this spring!!
