[...] We still need to put up the tarps, roosts, complete the front wall with poultry netting, and add a “handle” for the tractor to pull it. Unfortunately we also realized that we did the bottom wrong and will need to add skids. The plan is for the meat birds to move in to the hoop coop this next weekend. I’m a little nervous because it’s been getting relatively cold at night still and this design provides less protection from the colder temperatures than the range house. [...]

Hello Celeste! Right now the nesting house is up off the road from the goat’s house waiting, since the little chickens don’t lay eggs yet. It was a lot of work to get it up the hill. The roosting house is in the lower part of the front yard with a chicken wire fence up to make a safe yard for the little chickens. The big chickens are still using the coop next to the house for now. When we move everything in to the pasture we will move the big and little chickens in together and put both houses in there for them to use.

I know you have some plans to be out of town for a few days. Please let dad and I help move the coup or split wood or something helpful when we get there. I love to split wood. We would like to make your Summer a little easier, if that was possible.
