well i went to town to pick up some plywood for the hen house, and stopped by tractor supply. They had another load of rabbits in so i got 2 more. I then came home and started working on the henhouse a bit and got the wall insulated and plywood up, then mounted the nest boxes and installed the roosts on the other wall. i need to make my door still so the chickens can get in and out, but i’m getting closer ….here are the pics

here are a few pics of some of the homesteading things i have been working on. I took the back half of my 10 x 20 lofted barn shed and turned it into a hen house for the 25 white leghorn hens i ordered. Today i drove to gatlinburg Tn and picked up 5 poultry layer cages i found on craigslist. I wouldn’t have driven so far but, the cages were less than half what a new one was, and one of these was even still in the box. Couldn’t pass that up. they came with water bowls and feeders too. Here are the pics……
