Cooped up

It has been a goal of mine to raise some chickens for eggs, and eventually, ahem, meat. My Mom, who grew up poor, and therefore has many skills that I do not have, is going to help us with the latter.
The kids are old enough to fend for themselves now, or at least they can both walk... so I thought it was time to go ahead and get started with the chickens.

Step 1.

I ordered the coop. It, according to the seller's description, takes a half an hour and a screwdriver to assemble. I'll keep you posted.
