This sturdy looking building was once a chicken coop where some lucky chickens enjoyed windows, shelter, and safety from whatever kind of critters wanted to eat them .
Mike's Look at Life
A personal blog communicating issues around life including horrific loss and overwhelming joy, and many things in between.
Nearby is a former chicken coop that was converted into a house – I just have to wonder about the health aspect of that …
I would guess that it was scrubbed pretty good and sanitized thoroughly. A house? How big is it?
Bigger than the one pictured above and two stories … that sounds awfully large for a chicken coop, doesn’t it? They appear to have done a good job on the outside; I often wonder how they configured it on the inside … but I just can’t get past all those nasty spores of chicken poop in the coop ..
I would feel cooped up. I would also feel nervous, like I was walking on egg shells. Nothing to crow about there.
LOL – It doesn’t eggscite me either.
Good use of creative license!
Great photo of the hen house. Is that the holding tank on the left? Yeah, I would have a hard time with poop from the coop…I’ve become citified (not to be confused with certified) and like my huevos rancheros from out of a carton from Safeway.
So you are certifiably citified?
As John Wayne would say, yup.
i like it in b/w ~ very nostalgia looking!
Me too….Thanks!
Great image.
Thanks bro.
With that much space they must be electric hens (well they certainly aren’t battery hens !!).
Yes that was a poultry joke. You could even say it was fowl!
Good show and jolly well! Blimey!
Is that a British term, electric hen? A band that I am too old to know? Are you drinking at this precise moment?
No and No, just finished a pint of John Smith’s Smooth (thats proper beer not of that Bud sh%t). Might just have another as its Friday night!!
Are you thinking of Chicken Shack? Damn good blues band from back in the day.
I don’t know Chicken Shack. But i do know you are spot on about the beer. I prefer a heavier beer and Bud is disgusting. A few pints of Guinness would work really well.
Enjoy your Friday night Adrian. Get lucky. I will.
Guinness – lunch in a glass. Had a pint for breakfast once when in Dublin!
That’s a nice looking chicken coop, especially in B&W.
Happy chickens lay more eggs and are more tender ifin you eat them.
They lay tastier eggs, too.
I forgot to thank you for your sweet comment. Thank you.
That’s the coziest chicken coop I’ve ever seen!
He must have had some fat and spoiled hens. I dated a fat hen once. All she did was cackle and crap. Didn’t last long.
I never dated a fat rooster.
Of course not…..look at you.
Dated a clown or two.
Of that I’m sure!
If you only knew!
Horrible then, but now I look back on with affection.
You will find this hard to believe, but there are women I dated who describe me as a clown too. But I evolved over time into a full blown (hmmm) buffoon.
My mother told me a thousand years ago that she married my father because he made her laugh.
I hear that, and I know you are a lot of fun, and a very good sport. I make my wife laugh all the time, after all these years. My beautiful son says….”what’s she laughing at” Then I make him laugh too. Life is good. Thanks for not hanging up on me…
You just made all things good in my world. Good night, Mike!
Good night elisa.
Critters? Are we considered critter? I ask because I love fresh eggs, fried and grilled chicken and pictures of out chicken coops! Nice shot man!
Yes I guess to chickens who get plucked and eaten we would be perhaps their biggest threat. And now you have made me hungry with that food talk. I loves me some deep fried chicken but don’t get to have it often.
And thanks Jagged.
That coop looks just right for my chickens!! It reminds me of the one my Grandparents had in Nebraska! What a great find, Mike!
