Mickey proudly displaying his first window. Doesn't it look great?! I didn't know it was possible to build windows, but he took some lumber, some caulk, a piece of acrylic, and voila!
The window in its new home: the bird coop.
(I love how the red shingles match the cabin and the rabbit hutch!)
The gap under the window now has a door and will eventually be the nest box access.
The coop serves as part of the fence for the brand new permanent bird pen.
The gate to the pen is just to the left of the coop.
The birds in their new pen (hungry as usual).
You can see the frenzy of activity! :)
The roomy interior: The roosting pole (to the right of the picture) and the loft where the chickens like to hang out (once they figured out how to get up there).
Speaking of the chickens, they were a little disturbed the first night about being separated from their old home, the tractor. They didn't mind their new pen during the day, but once night fell they stared at the tractor through the fence and growled at it until they figured out how lovely and comfortable their new home is.
