FUNDRAISER: Re-building a home for the ethical egg

We are preparing for hens at the farm! …
In this day of mass farming, where millions of chickens are mistreated for the almighty egg production market — you will be doing your part to humanely supply cage-free, well-loved chickens with a loving (they will get hugged daily!) and peaceful home in order to provide people with the ultimate ethical egg. Not only will they be cage-free, they will be outdoors (free-range) during the day. To create this reality, we only need $1200.

How the money will be spent: We need to rejuvenate this old coop with a new floor to keep foxes out, a new outdoor run to keep the hens out of the garden, and nesting, water, and food stations. We also need to purchase beautiful Road-Island Red Laying Hens. My family and I will put all the construction hours in for free, and document the process in photos/video for you.
