Well since out meat bird project, we have moved to a new house on a full acre. We are building our coop this week as a 10'X10' pole barn style with concrete footers. We are really excited to build it and it will be situated to where we can add on for more animals (Goats) next year. Here are three windows I got for free from a friend who just put new ones in their house.

Roof is on! One permanent, south facing window is in and the other one is able to open fully. Will be adding 1 more glass window that opens and a few vents.
Also picked up 10 RIR, 2 BO and 1 BR today.

Looks like it will be a nice sized coop, and beautiful property!

That's a pretty big span without studs though, no?

It is a 10'X10'. The corners are in 3' of concrete and we added the supports at the tops and some bottoms. I am not able to shake the thing at all. The guy who is helping me, who is a carpenter, said middle studs aren't a big deal since we aren't going to be putting much on the walls. The studs are 24" on center, for the most part.
