This was an Experiment to create another building, originally it was to be a storehouse/granary, but it turned out smaller than I had planned. I´d only built the walls and clad them so it was shelved..in fact in ended up in the bin but then I had a think about it.
Make a hatch in the door, add some pillars (logically, they would have wanted it off the ground for the same reasons as a granary) and a run, also it´s tall enough to stand up in and shelving could be added for the hens to roost on = Chicken Coop.

I couldn´t find much on how chickens were kept in the medieval era, but among the couple of Pictures I found, apart from some weaved "chicken baskets", they Show them "housed".

I love it Paul! A delightful build, made all the more so by the historic reference.

Wonderful little piece of terrain.
ReplyDeleteLovely work Paul!
ReplyDeletePaul, I've been following your efforts all the way and I just love your grain house and now this superb little chicken coop. I hope you will take it as the sincerest form of flattery when I tell you I intent copying it shamelessly for my Lewes project - with due credit of course.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks .
DeleteLike wise, I´m watching the Progress of your Lewes Terrain...pretty amazing.
