Almost In Business

In the beginning....there was as a space cleared....

 Dan, owner of Green Chicken Coop, was right on time with his delivery.  Very nice man.  first thing he mentioned was how great our weather was.  He came from somewhere close to Saginaw, Michigan.  He drove through one snow squall on his was. He and his wife and two dogs....it's a family affair.

 

He had two deliveries close here in OH, so they decided to deliver them personally.  Which is really nice because he takes real care in getting the coops to his customers from the factory to us with no damage. He probably saves a little money also. But a road trip with the fam is always a good thing.

 Everything covered away from the elements and dirt from the road.  A nice touch!

 The pallets (which I get to keep) will be used to grow some of the chickens favorite treats.  They are screwed to the bed of the truck and then the coop and other materials were screwed to the  pallets. so there was no way that my order was going to slide off.

 

I get a little nervous when Dan says that he is just going to push the 200 pound coop off the truck.  But I guess the man knows what he is doing.

 Now I am really concerned...200 pounds!  How in the world are Mark and I going to be able to add the legs and then carry it to the backyard?  I hope some of our neighbors and my ever so strong sons will be willing to give us a hand this weekend.

 

This is my new friend and chicken coop and run building guru, Dan. owner of The Green Chicken Coop..  After unloading the order we sat in the driveway and chit chatted about chickens.  He has three coops...20 chickens.  One coop for the younger ones.  Second coop for the egg layers.  And the last coop for the bad chickens (they peck their eggs).  It is the rehab coop.  He has one 6 year old chicken that still lays.  We picked his brain and learned some new things we have never read about.

Check them out on FaceBook.

 

So now the adventure really begins Saturday morning with Bryce's help we will put the legs on the coop part and assemble the run and put it all in place.  And you know there will be lots of pictures!
