Nope, she did not. She stays away from cigars as well. ;)


Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. It's giving me an idea of what we need when we get our structure up! I like the idea of movable pens.

Couple shots of our set up-my husband likes to build them stuff to play on as you can tell (our kids like it too).

OK Miss Melissa, where's your hammer and nails??

You remind me of me. LOL. I am always calling in DH to the computer, or printing something out for him to look at and figure out how he's going to do it.

I'm so lucky, he's so smart and capable, and I'm so good at getting him to do something.....

Last thing was a creep feeder. He he he!!

Alright, here it is :) So fun (for all types of kids as you can see) and I figure we can add on as we get more scrap wood.

Both types of "kids" look like they are going to enjoy. :celebrate I like the foundation for your future Kid Playground. Lots of ways to expand it. Thanks for sharing. :)

It's not fancy, but it's home. The main building is divided inside just to the left of the door: Left side goats, right side chickens. We work on it evenings and weekends as time and funds allow. We have to finish some framing for the goats door and side their area...plus finish putting up fascia boards on the front.

The goats have a paddock attached to the left side of the building. The wire was up to keep the chickens in while my garden was full of tender young plants, but was removed when they were big enough to withstand a chicken attack....lol.

Their beds are made out of old wood shelving and display boxes we got for free from the local World Market store when they remodeled. The brown is from an unfortunate molasses incident where the goats managed to get it all over themselves and were pretty sticky...lol. They love being up off the ground, so use the bottom bunk to jump up to the top. If they can't make the jump as they get older we'll add another level as a step.

We designed it so that the upper beds were on the shared wall with the chicken coop. If you go in the door to the coop...

Instant nesting boxes.


This is what is going on at the back of the goat paddock...the rest of the chicken coop: Complete with bumper boards so the goats don't tear up the hardware cloth wire.

I would think at that pointed end your could build a storage cabinet. It could be used to hold some supplies. You could lock it so they would not be able to get inside.

You could also use that side as your entrance. You could place your door there and then add a storage room on that side, so when you go into the goat section, they would not have that point.

I too have a goat/chicken barn with a storage room in the center.
