he-e-e-re chicky, chicky, chicky!

Never mind a uniform - I love a man in boots.
Means work is getting done.
Something's getting built.


Know what this is going to be?
A chicken tractor. Yep, a coop on wheels!
Day 1 - its just a box .


It has 3 little nesting boxes inside.


Day 2 - it gets a tin roof, a yard,


an awning and a ramp up to the front door,


I plan to add " faux" windows with window boxes.
I just need to decide about what colour to paint it. Any idea's?
And then I'll be ready for 3 fluffy little spring chicks.
 

That's Mr Vintage's hand holding the window. He was the foreman at the construction site ( mostly his driveway )
You should check out Vintage Gal's barn here and here.


Hey Ruby! You best be getting home before dark!


Hope your weekend was terrific!
<3 Karen
