My Chicken House


This chicken house was built by a woman who farmed here many years ago. A more modern version of the barn was built around it. It was used more recently as a calf room. We put our nest box unit up on the wall in it, and can enter it from inside the barn. I was aghast to find that the TV man nailed the dish onto the chicken house, as the wood was softer and easier to drill. It is an historic building and must be saved as part of the collective history of this farm. I still can't get over having all this housing for my critters, who have endured all kinds of weather in crude run-in sheds and wire runs. It gives me warm fuzzies to know they are protected from the elements (them, too!)
