Hen Inn

I live in an eco-development named Serenbe. Even though my neighbors are very close, we are surrounded by 900 acres of woods...cluster development it is called. So, I wasn't sure if I could have chickens or not, but you know what they say, it's easier to apologize than to ask for permission. Having said that, I began building the Hen Inn.
Turns out one of the chicks the momma hen, Black Betty, hatched is a rooster and he may prove to be a problem. I named him Nuggett.
I have had birds before on a 180 acre farm in New York, but now I live on .11 acre. I know the way to a happy chicken family would be a coop that is easy to keep clean. So I bought plans for a simple coop and made many changes.

I love the coop! Keep us posted on the rooster - people often complain about roosters so it's great that you like him.

I think it's a great coop too! Is it moveable? I'd love to build something like it that I could move from place to place in the yard.
Thanks for the pics and story :-)
