I've got a backlog of content lined up that I'm trying to get published here at Homegrown Philosofood. The funny thing is, the more time you spend doing stuff around the homestead, the less time you have left for writing. Double edged sword I guess. I do however have an update from my parents in regards to their chicken coop.
My dad finished up the chicken coop and my mom sent over these pictures of the final product. It really turned out beautiful and I think it will serve them well. Here are the pictures of the completed coop.

| The builder himself, my Dad. Don't let the scowl fool you, he's a very kind fella behind the beard. A darn fine coop constructor as well if I do say so myself. |
 |
| Mom would never let even the chickens have a place without a little artistic touch. As a note, we discussed closing off the open area above the door with cage wire as well, my only guess is pops ran out or has a more aesthetically pleasing fix in the works. |
So there you have it, a coop that I am a bit jealous of. I'm sure that Dad will get back to me with all the things he has changed or would do differently the next time and I hope to incorporate those into my design when it comes time to get our chicken system rolling here at Three Oaks.
As you can see they wasted no time in filling the house.

| Rufus and the ladies |
Just today 4 Rhode Island Red hens and a Cochin Bantam rooster, henceforth known as Rufus, became the proud new tenants of these sweet digs.
