Because yesterday was, again, a HOLIDAY in celebration of EDSA revolution that ended Martial Law, we spent another day upgrading our Chicken Coop as the chicks are no longer babies and are entering chick teen days.
At 9, we went to the hardware store to buy additional materials, We bought 6 pcs of 1in x 2in x14 ft of good lumber, a 4x8 ft of plywood, some nails, and some door hinges.
These are the steps taken for the upgrade of the coop:
- We sawed the good lumber to 4 5-ft pieces and 4 6-ft pieces. Then we nailed these together to form the frame.
- We also sawed the plywood into different smaller pieces to form the roof and the sides plus a roosting/sleeping area for the chicks. Then we nailed the plywood into the frame according to the cut pieces we had.
- We also created a door, so that we can get in to bring the chicks food and water.
- We removed the chicken wire from one side of the smaller coop to cover the whole side of the bigger coop with chicken wire.
- All areas that have no plywood are covered in chicken wire.
- Then we placed sand and gravel in the new area and let the chicks scatter them.
It took all day, but we are happy with this new playground for our chicks.
For the whole coop, I think it cost us some 2000 pesos because the chicken wire was expensive and it was half of the whole price. But there are some with smaller holes that are cheaper compared to the one we bought.
