Ok, this has nothing to do with the name of my blog and everything to do with the new home for my baby chicks and ducks, or duckwings (ducklings), as Matt calls them. We found this old playhouse in the backyard of an empty house---a beautiful house---one I wouldn't mind living in---but empty, which is why we were interested in it. And the fact that it looks like it hasn't been used as a playhouse in quite a while. Ian was able to find out who owned the house so I gave the nice gentleman a call and asked about the playhouse. He said we could have it. I offered to pay him but he wouldn't take anything for it. It needs work but we thought it would be a neat little chicken house.
Here are the before shots. It needs new paint, windows, and a door---can't be havin' no critters gettin' after my birds.
The kids are having fun playing in it while we get it ready for the chicks and ducks. We may end up having to build something for them once the birds move into this one.

I like it. So many possibilities for a chicken coop. Wish I was there to help ya'll with it. FUN FUN FUN!! I love stuff like that.
That will be one fancy chicken coop! Karolyn has a really cute chicken coop too. You'll have to ask her about it.
I'm sorry but I'd probably give the house to the kids and have Uncle Red help make something for the chickens, but your can't beat free.
