The chicken coop...


The chicken coop will be under the loft which is 3 feet high. In the picture it shows the roosting area and laying boxes with ladders so the chickens can get up there. Where we can see the coop from inside the clubhouse we are thinking about making it wire so you can see the chickens from inside the clubhouse. Also there will be doors so you can open the coop from inside. There is a door that i will open every morning so that the chickens can go outside and rin around as well as come inside whenever they want.

Right side Elevation....


This is the right side elevation. So if you were on the right side of the clubhouse it would look like this.

Front Elevation...


This is the front elevation and if you were looking at it from the front this is what it would look like. This is definitely the final idea.

Floor plan...


This is the floor plan. If you were looking down on the clubhousecoop this is what it would look like. It shows where the windows are and where the door is.

Posting...

My dad and I are going to draw more tonight. I will try to post some of the drawings tonight.

Selling...

I will probably have my own little business in my neighborhood with all the eggs I'm going to have. From the interesting facts it said one hen will lay about 600 eggs in two years. So that means with 3 chickens 900 eggs in one year. I hope i get people to buy them because if not I will have a lot of eggs. By the way my dad and I are finally going to make the new material list today. When we finish it i will scan it in to show. And maybe get it sent in this week!!! But we have to send it in so that it will arrive when we are here because if not it will sit in our driveway and that's not good. I will post the list later. :)

Chicken facts...

The chicken eggs do not have to be refrigerated!!! Also rotten eggs float and fresh eggs sink. A chicken can lay more than 600 eggs in her first two years. Chickens live about eight years, though some keep clucking for twice that long. Chicken manure is a potent fertilizer. Hens lay eggs about every 25 hours. Well I will give you more fun facts later :)

chickens...


The chickens will have to be fenced in because we have two cats and I do not think they will mesh well together. Though the chickens will have plenty of space. We have a fence in our back yard behind the clubhouse and the chicken run will go along side that. It will be from the clubhouse to the other fence perpendicular to the one behind the clubhouse. As shown in the picture at the beginning of the run it will curve out then curve back in and do the same at the end. It will be a good amount of space for the chickens. I know this is a little confusing but i hope the picture helps. :)
