We finally got the chicken coop done and painted and even decorated. Looks cool I think! It ended up being more complicated than we thought... I guess things usually are. we havent really had many problems. We have been trying to decide if we should stay with straw on the ground or go with wood flakes.
So we did get three adult chickens from our friend (the one who built the coop!). Here is an iphone picture of them and our dog. Our dog isn't quite sure what to make of them yet. She did bark and growl a little at the begging. Then a few days ago she chased a local cat away form them and had a great time running around the yard chasing this cat...and now she seems to be a little protective of the chickens. We haven't let them out yet to free range... but I plan to. And eventually I will try to incorporate the dog and chickens.
I do have to say I found the Backyard Chicken website to be fantastic and helpful (http://www.backyardchickens.com/).
