The Coop is Coming Along

The guys were working on the new coop yesterday.
But then there was this HUGE bang.
Rod said it sounded like the space shuttle's sonic boom.

But it was just Andy putting a huge hole in the barn with his foot.

So today they are back to working on the coop.

And they are cruising along at a pretty quick pace!



The "drawers" sticking out the side are nest boxes.
On a slight angle.
So when eggs are laid, they roll down to a covered
section so they can't be eaten, pecked at, sat on, or
uh... pooped on.

Most of the nest box is inside the coop.
There will be a "lift up" lid on the outside.
So all you have to do is walk by, open the lid,
reach inside, pull out the freshly laid,
super clean,
extra handy
eggs!

BRILLIANT!

Meanwhile, Andy is doing well.
He is sore.
He is limping a little.
Last night he tried to trot to dinner.
And nearly fell over.
So Kyle carefully walked him to the barn.

Silly horse.
