The coop goes on

 Last week was a good week weather-wise and a lot got accomplished. There's yet a few secrets being kept by this coop, though! We'll see them as time goes by.....
You probably saw the excavator in the first two pictures. We used it to set the sona-tubes to support the coop. The land goes down behind and I'll put pea-stones on it so there's a nice sheltered area for 'the girls' on hot days. We haven't moved the excavator off yet because we still need to run water and electric over.

This is Sox. He and a few of his kind spend their days in the adjoining pasture. During the day, the chickens will have access to the pasture. This is good for everyone because the horses won't eat grass that's growing near their manure. The birds will scratch out their manure for bugs, mmmmmmm! This helps it break down grow more grass . . . ok you get it!
I am waiting eagerly for the Easter chix.
