Every time I say we are done and I can post the reveal, I think of more things to add to the coop :) Click Read More to continue. I am still adding touches but it is close enough to reveal. To recap, Bobby custom-designed and built the large chicken run to accent our already existing chicken coop. We painted the run and coop grey to match our shed and color scheme of the house. The coop was barn red when we got it. I liked it because it matched our roof and shutters on the house but once we built the run we knew it needed changed. Since Bobby and his dad want to eat my girls, we all agreed (yes, Terry you agreed to this too!) that my 3 girls will be our laying hens, and we will add meat chickens to the flock. I won't name the meat chickens or get attached to them like I am to Ruby, Adrian, and Hennifer (seen below) Our baby chicks will stay in the Chick Shack and our larger chickens will stay in the run where Bobby will be adding laying boxes aka The Hen House. The sun was so bright when we took the pictures, it makes the coop look brown but it's grey as you can see in the above pic of Bobby in it. We chose teal blue water as the backdrop for the coop. We honeymooned in the Gulf of Mexico and this little pop of color adds so much charm to our backyard! I am so proud of Bobby for his workmanship and making everything fit just right in the space. It made decorating so easy and fun. Our girls are loving it. They are a little over 6 weeks old and should be giving us eggs at 4-6 months.
