Chicken Coop in Progress

It's time to order our baby chicks, but their new home isn't quite ready yet. We've torn off the old, rotting particleboard and removed the old, rotting hay insulation, and taken out the old, rotting trash piles, but it still needs walls and a good power-washing.

We're getting six dominiques for eggs, which are a hardy New England breed that apparently don't wander very far on the open range. Our hope is to let them roam the field instead of fencing in a run, but I have a chicken run spot in mind in case we need to pen them.
