Mississippi Eggs

This is my first time to have chickens and build a coop. It took much longer than expected but I'm pleased.

The roof. I had no plans. I just started and problem solved along the way. (might have been a mistake, very heavy)

Nest box. I put a divider to make two 12 x 12 x 12 boxes.

Turned out to be very heavy after the roofing and siding.
