Chic Chicks

Granary(left) and Coop (right)

We began here and now, the job is finished at last!

My daughter-in-love and I power-washed, primed and painted this old granary and chicken coop these past few weeks, trying to do most of our work in the mornings to dodge the 90-degree-plus heat of the day. We used barn-red and white to add a little country charm to our premises. Today I finished up by caulking, shining windows, and adding the screens to the coop. I also set a fogger inside (chicks outside) to try to get rid of some of the July Flies that seem to be thick out there. I think we turned our ordinary chickens into "chic chicks" since giving them a snazzy new place to roost.

I'm thinking of stenciling

"Fresh Eggs"

on the door.

This is the chicken coop, as you can see a few of the biddies are going in-and-out the door.
