                  URBAN COOP AND CHICKEN RUN 
                    
                  
                    
                  
                  Finally finished chicken coop.  
                  They have a safe and warm home! 
                    
                    
                  
                    
                  
                    
                  
                  Newly painted coop. Grapes are 
                  starting to grow! 
                  
                    
                  
                    
                  
                    
                  
                  Side view of coop, looking 
                  toward eating area.  The  bar in front of the coop  
                  
                  allows for the chickens to perch 
                  and enjoy the view on their front "porch" 
                  
                    
                  
                    
                  
                    
                  
                  A view inside the chicken run 
                  behind the garage.  The baby ducklings are  
                  
                  enjoying this space too (the 
                  little brown birds in the pic) and love to swim in their
                   
                  
                  temporary pool -- the black tray 
                  in the foreground. 
                  
                    
                  
                    
                  
                    
                  
                    
                  
                  Inside view of coop with opened 
                  doors to show how the nesting boxes are set up.   
                  
                  There are two levels of roosts, 
                  allowing for the hens to hop them as 
                  
                   ladders to get to the 
                  nesting boxes.   The burlap curtains on the windows 
                  can be rolled up or rolled down depending on the weather.

                  curtain rolled up. 
                  
                    
                  
                    
                  
                    
                  
                    
                  
                  The nesting boxes are built into 
                  the garage, allowing for easy access.

                  nesting boxes as seen from inside the garage.
