Coop da' Villa

Back in the spring the grandkids (mostly mine) begged and pleaded with my parents to get chickens. For some reason they agreed and so off to D&B supply they went. They came home with 14 baby chicks and placed them in their new home. A cardboard box. Little by little the chicks grew and needed a new home. My dad decided he would build his own coop by watching U-tube videos and the end result was a chicken penthouse! The coop is amazing with 2 doors, windows, a row of nesting boxes accessible from the outside and roosting bars. He graciously allowed the grandkids to come and "help" with the painting.
