So I have wanted my own hen's for a long long while now. I had given up on the idea because my yard is open to the ally and I have a communal garden. This morning I came across this

(yes I scan the local CL... I can't even begin to guess how much CL has saved me)
I can SO build that. And I have ONE space left in my garden that is (guessing) 16x8 (maybe) I thought... now if I can build something like this, with a little house inside for the hen's... would they be ok there? Could I let them out (with out supervision of course) in the afternoons and on the weekends? Would they tire of being stuck in there? And about how much would this cost? How much space per hen would I need to provide? (I'm thinking 2 hens.. it's only the DH and myself 5 day's a week and the kiddo on the weekends) What kind of hen should I get? I'm SUPER excited.
