Stevenson's Chicken Coop

My design concept for how to convert the old shed into a coop.  I am not sure I
have shown enough ventilation.  I am sure I will add more, although I am concerned
about too much to the high winds that we get.  Unfortunately the AutoCAD drawing
didn't copy well to Photoshop, but I think you can get the idea
Note: I have made several changes to the original design based on comments.

I am planning on putting in 150' of 6' fence with this configuration.  The plan
is to have 25 chickens, so this design allows 71 sq ft per chicken.  Not quite free
range, but I am hopeful it will cut down on feed cost.  Having it open on top leaves
me vulnerable to hawks, but I am hopeful that I won't have too many problems.

04/11/2011 - I have almost finished the West side

 

4-30-2011 - Built the external nesting boxes today.  Things are coming together.
I still have to finish the east side and do some odds and end on the north, south
and west sides.
