Farmer Carl advertised a chicken brooder house for sale.
After a lovely visit with Carl, I purchased the “rustic” farm building.
Not quite sure how or if it would make the journey to our property..
but I had a vision!
Luckily, my husband is handy, and he didn’t give up!
As always, it’s a family project.
“Yes, kids–we are getting chickens and chickens are so cool”!
down to earth digs 
Very cool. I’d love to see a picture of the move.
I didn’t get pictures of the move itself–it was no easy task!
I have been banned from purchasing anymore farm buildings or sale!
You guys amaze me! That is a fun project. Do the chickens stay out there all winter?
Yep, they are out there all year long. The have heat lamps, and the water sits on a heater to keep from freezing. They also have to have extra light during the Winter months to encourage egg production. It is a lot more work in the Winter!
Absolutely charming! I love it and all your kitties too. I assume they don’t eat chicken? Cute little dress of the chicken holder in your last picture. Oh and the Chicken statue and vintage lawn chair too would be something I would totally scoop up.
This project got completed right before our daughters High School Graduation party…the young chickens were a hit with everyone! I think the coop is going to get a new paint job this Summer???
This is the most adorable chicken coop I’ve ever seen! I love it. Good luck with your chickens…I’m a little bit envious! 🙂
The chickens are more pets than anything! And we are lucky that all our animals get along.
Cat’s and dog’s leave them alone for the most part…maybe a chase every now and then!
We did have 2 roosters, Russel Crow and Sid…loved the atmosphere they brought to the farm, but when they turned on me…they had to go! Seriously, I should have been filming that stuff!
LOVE this!! Farmer Carl’s loss is definitely your gain….and then some!
I tried to take eggs to Farmer Carl, and he was so cute and said no thank you…he is watching his cholesterol! He was happy the little building was fixed up and put to use.
wow – don’t you love it when the visions really turn out so well. It keeps you inspired when the next ones roll around. Sweet chicken house!
Several times along the way, I thought this little building was a goner!
I’m eyeing a few little sheds on some abandoned farms around the area….this Spring I’m doing some ownership investigation! 🙂
What a cute home for your chickens. They should be giving you lots of eggs for all your effort.
They had a late molt and now have been on a egg laying break! Hopefully the girls will get their act together soon!
