Eddie and Peter were asked by a local Feed Store to consider building chicken coops. It's been a great experience and I think they turned out super! The model above was built from the Catawba Chicken Coop plans and was built completely by Pete.
- It's a moveable pen and has a drop down ladder with access to the nesting area like the one below.
- The ends come off for easy access to the eggs.
- One side comes off for cleaning.
This is the other coop they built. It is a stationary coop and I love it because it's "cute". It also has the drop down ladder for access to the nesting area.
It has a door below and 4 doors above for access to eggs and cleaning.
This is the string to pull in order to raise or lower the ladder. Purty neat huh?
Eddie and Peter also built a cute proto-type coop, which he gave to Jason for his chickens.
All the coops were made with lumber that they milled from cedars here on the property. They are also treated with Wood Renew product, which resists rot and weathering and makes the wood look great! Wood Renew is the business that my brother, Jason owns. He applies the product to wood decks, etc.
Loading the coop to be delivered to the store. It's already sold.
We are loving the way the Lord is giving us opportunities to diversify while at the same time allowing the family to work together.
