And then there were two. As winter approached rapidly, it became clear that we required a more secure coop to shelter our two cherished Chicken Ladies. Ensuring their comfort during the bitter -30 degree nights was paramount. Thus, Chris and Joyce set their sights on the woodshed and embarked on a comprehensive renovation, from the floor to the walls and up to the roof. This transformation would see the woodshed reverting to its original purpose - a cozy Chicken Coop!
