John : Hi Gina, I really enjoy reading your newsletter. My family and I have been raising backyard chickens (within the city) for almost 5-years now. We enjoy them very much and find that each hen has her own personality, some more aggressive and attention demanding then others. For my daughter's birthday, my wife and I decided to build a chicken coop for her and her family, so they could enjoy their own "backyard chickens". Attached are a few photos of the coop for you and your readers to enjoy.

The coop will fit three to four birds comfortably. We added wheels so that the coop could be moved around the back yard. This allows the birds to enjoy the grass and fertilize without destroying any one particular area of ground. Best Regards, John Robles
