That's not a house, that's a PALACE!

Thanks you guys. When it's done, it will have an 8 ft. covered outside run around 3 sides, and we will build a tractor or 2 (portable run) that will be able to attach to any of the sides so we can keep their ground rotated.

That's nicer than our house! (No, not the hen house, OUR house!).
