Chicken/bunny coop

I spent all day yesterday working on my chicken coop and bunny box. Both will have close-able doors to outdoor pens.

We already have some bunny hutches donated to us last year. We'll use those for any critter want to isolate. In the winter we'll stack up bales in the bunny run so they can nest in them. Then we'll use the bunny box in the shed for food and water.

The chicken coop is small - made for max of 6 hens. Avery helped me paint it white so it's be easy to light in the winter to keep the chickens in a good mood. Then we covered the painted wall with twin-wall polycarb to make it easy to wash later.

A window on the back with an awning type shutter on it will become the door for the chickens.

The bunny box acts as a step to help little people get up to see in, or climb in.
