Tour de Coop

Today was sunny and cold....I could so get used to this weather!!  After a semi-successful garage saling adventure I was lucky enough to attend the local tour of chicken coops...


Well, 4 coops anyways in the downtown area.  It was great fun!!!

photo stolen from the amazingly talented Amy Danielson....thanks Amy!

No. 1
another photo stolen from Amy as my shots of her beautiful coop were lousy

Amy has a cute little cabinet attached to her coop for the chickens to use when they lay their eggs!

No. 2....under the stairs....what a clever use of space!

No. 3, aka "The cutest coop in Sitka"....


And No. 4...




Every coop we visited was unique but they all had one thing in common....they were all built using ingenuity and creativity....I love that!

    DOGS!!! I have lost ducks to mink, bears, ravens and dogs, but dogs are by far the worst! It is the same for everyone else in the Sitka area too.
