Another Hen House SOLD - right from under the Working Girls!

The other day I had to say "Goodbye" to 3 of my adult laying hens, sold to a new owner that will enjoy caring for them at his new country place.  In another day or two, the 6 remaining hens will be saying "Goodbye" to their Heritage Hen House!  They've lived in the same house for their short little lives, and I sold it right from underneath them, roost bars and all!!!

We had a nice couple drive 1 1/2 hrs from their home to meet us and to see the hen houses that Hubbs designed.  They said it had everything they were looking for in an easy-care unit and loved the style of it.  It kind of looks like something from "Little House on the Prairie", we've been told!  I priced them out a new house, complete with electric, but also offered them a deal on my "used but not abused" hen house, whereby they could save some money and have everything all done and ready to go in a week (after Hubbs built a new house for my girls, of course), and told them I'd put on a new coat of stain too!  It was a sweet deal for them, and they were pleased to save some cash in the bargain.  The only drawback was having to wait a week, but, what is one week when you can own a dream house for your new flock of nine?!?  SOLD!

Hubbs has my new house nearly built.  He still needs to install nest boxes and doors and windows and vents, but it's almost done.  Then I'll have to stain it - that's my job!  The coop I've been using for a couple of years has held up very well, and is just as solid as the day it was built.  Good workmanship!  The only thing it needed was new stain, and I have that part completed.  I know her pullets will settle right in, no trouble.  They should love their Coop Sweet Coop! 

A sad "Goodbye" to the first Heritage Hen House ever, but a warm "Hello" to a new, and possibly IMPROVED version!
