🐔 Built Like a Chicken (Run): My First Solo Project in Feathers & Fencing

A female gardener in overalls stands next to a newly built chicken run made of T-posts, chicken wire, and pea gravel. The scene is set in a rustic backyard during golden hour.

I built my first chicken run solo—with post pounder, pea gravel, and plenty of “what am I doing” moments. Here’s what I learned, loved, and barely survived. 🛠️🐔

A yellow skid steer deeply stuck in muddy earth on a grassy, leaf-covered patch of land, surrounded by bare trees under a bright blue sky. The machine is tilted, half-submerged, appearing immobilized in soft ground.

What do you get when you mix a rented skid steer, way too much mud, and one determined gardener? A wild DIY day in the Chaos Garden—complete with a stuck machine, a full-blown panic moment, and a whole lotta grit. Spoiler: the garden got built, and I didn’t get buried alive. 💪

Early spring view of the Chaos Garden with raised beds, greenhouse, bare trees, fog over the field, and humorous skeleton decorations near a greenhouse.

The Chaos Garden in early spring—fog rolling in, beds half-prepped, skeletons standing guard, and not a rabbit in sight (yet).
