"Coop de Peisley"

Today I wanted to share my chicken coop with you all....

Isn't it just the cutest thing you have ever seen?

It arrived in the first term school holidays...

It came flat packed with instructions saying it would take

2 people an hour to put together with a screw driver.....

BA HA HA!

It took Jacky Mister and I about 6 hours to construct....

I also made an additional base so it doesn't sit directly on

 the ground to prevent it rotting....

I saved the offcuts for stepping stones....

And then the fun began....

Well I was having fun, Jacky Mister on the other hand was

 convinced there were better ways for him to be spending his

 Saturday but he persevered and under sufferance even let me

 get a (Mum do you really have to take my photo) happy snap.....

Easy access for cleaning and collecting eggs....

A few days after Easter the girls moved into their new coop....

Brown New Hampshire- Phyllis

White Leghorn - Mabel

Black Austrolorpe - Mrs McLeod

They should be starting to lay 6 weeks from Easter....

It took them a few days to work out their feeder....

And their drinker....

I was starting to think that due to the cold that I wasn't going to

 get any eggs but in the holidays I found my first little egg.....

Phyllis is the first girl on the lay and I hope

 the other 2 follow her lead soon....

Bought it inside and sat it on the bench and

when I looked around it was gone!!!!

Oh dear it rolled off and broke.....Wah!

Miss Molly came out to see what all the

commotion was and I looked at her and said

 "You have got to be YOLKING!"

You can imagine the fits of laughter we were both in

 at this stage but all was better the next day

 when I got my second little egg...

Thanks to all of you who stop by and take the time to

read my blog and leave nice comments.....

It truly is nice to share the simple things....

Until next time, Happy Stitching
