Cottage Coop Fence Painted White!

So the fence is finally primed and painted white! I am really pleased with the way it all turned out!  I decided to not paint the Cottage Coop and allow it to fade to grey. I think it will be a fabulous accent to the coop area and the Fishtail Cottage garden!

Here is the latest and greatest photo’s to share with you of it all!

I know there will be subtle changes made here and there over time, & I promise to share those changes with you….I’m very excited about the coop area & what it has added to our home! The hens (Pearl, Anna May, Gizmo, Daisy & Josie) all seem to be getting along nicely & appear to be happy! Thanks for coming by to visit & see to the newly painted fence of the Cottage Coop!

I absolutely love the way the whole project turned out. I think you will love your coop weathered to grey..AND if you don't you can ALWAYS paint it later on. I'm betting you don't though-xo Diana

That is fantastic. Looks like something from a magazine. What kind of hens are they? I thought one was a cat it was so furry, they are precious.

It looks great but how do you clean up the chicken mess in that gravel? And how do you keep the weeds from growing through it? Nancy

Hi Tracie,

The coop is just darling! What a lovely addition to your home. I think that over time it will turn gray and be perfect!

All the Best,

The coop looks great and the fence too. You can always put bleaching oil on the shed to help the grey along. I don't know if it would bother the chiickens though....maybe not such a great idea.
I love what you have done.

I love the chicken coop and the sweet names for the hens. It is a chickens dream!
I use to have two chickens. Lucy and Harriet. Lucy was red and Harriet was brown. They would leave little notes for my children to read when they came home from school.
We had so much fun with them. My favorite thing was when they followed me around in the garden as I was weeding. I loved to hear the little clucking sounds they made it was so comforting. Enjoy your chickens!

Hi Tracie,
Tom Sawyer could not have done a better job on that fence. Love the whole chicken retreat. My heart skipped a beat at the sign of your darling metal cart. Also, love the hooks on your fence. Those chicks aren't going to know how to act in such a fancy abode. Oh btw, love all of their names!

The girls have to fanciest coop around! I love the way you have decorated the area, just darling.

Is that Bantams and Silkies I see? We had a few of both growing up..along with the Rhode Island Reds. Silkies are so pretty. Wish I was in an area where I could have them now.
We had one little Banty Rooster that was just evil! He had these long spurs and he would fly/jump on you..he uised to scare me! LOL

Have a great weekend!

Your coop is totally cool! Love it! I am just building mine now. Not sure what state you are in - what do you do in the winter with your cute little chickens? How do you keep them warm? Thanks for the pix! Paula in Idaho

Looks beautiful. My chickens tried to fly out of their chicken run on the first day so I had to clip their wings. When it rained they wouldn't come out of the coop and ended up getting into fights when they stayed inside. Then they started craving greens to help with digestion and tried to escape. Now my chicken coop looks like a prison yard with a roof to keep them dry and chicken wire to keep the raccoons and mice out.

Those are some very fortunate chickens. You know I am going to have to share these photos with a certain builder in my family. Hint, hint at a project for my yard.
