No not quilts, well maybe.
But chicken eggs. I finally put the coop together and put my last three chickens in it. They are not real happy right now. They are used to having free range over five acres. But finding the eggs was like an Easter Egg Hunt. Oh, here's one, maybe a day or two later I"d find another one. Sometimes, broken, but since I never knew how long ago it was laid, I just threw them out. These eggs are sooooooo good. The yolk is orange in color and tastes better than store bought eggs. I hope to get more peeps in the spring.
I'm down to just three chickens. All reds laying pretty brown eggs.
This is the little coop I purchased as a kit on-line. Big mistake, it's poorly put together. I had to have them ship pieces three times as it kept being shipped broken.
This is made with leftover kit pieces and some extra wood lying around. I painted it a robin's eggs blue (although it shows a bit darker in the photo). This will be for the guinea hens coming on June 1st.
These are some photos of chicken coops/pens I would really like to have.
