From such humble beginnings. This was my first ever coop prototype… I call it … “Hound on Stilts”.. This is actually Amy’s old beagle hound dog’s former home. When our relationship began the old hound house was still in the backyard full of memories and layered in fond mildew…
With Love and Determination to keep her old hound’s spirit alive, the dog house became the foundation of the new chicken coop.
Yes, a humble house is born. This is where about the first three chapters of Pollo Loco was written. That is, Chicken 101, 102, & 103… they had already been tie-dyed, quarantined for injuries and probably onto Grower Feed by this time… but it gets bigger… and badder….
Fast forward to 2017 and you can see the family is expanding. We are now home to 15 brown egg pullets of various makes and models. To our close friends, please inquire about farm fresh eggs… At any rate, Expansion of 2017 caused for some more creativity on what recycled material will I use this time for the main house. Check this story for details of what I made the addition out of The Coop.
