The coop is nearly finished..

The coop is nearly finished, just need to put a few more edges on the back roof.

What I've learned from the chickens so far:
-they have a night time song one sings about 8:30pm when it is almost time for bed
-they dont like getting sprayed with the hose
-they do like to eat the grass/seeds that have been sprayed with the hose
-they do not like to use the water nipples since they were not trained to it as chicks
-they do throw seed out of the PVC feeders I made for them
-they like soaked lettuce on hot days
-so far they are not making a mess of the water pail (that blue thing in the picture)


Almost done pic of the coop:
