The girls like it. Enjoy.

Security was a big concern, so we went down 30" with the hardware cloth all the way around as well as layering the cloth scraps while backfilling. The nest boxes slide out and the floor is covered with truck bed liner. This week a solar powered door, light and motion detect light will complete the project.

Would suggest you run gutter along the run side of the coop roof to prevent a waterfall onto the bird's as the leave the coop and splash into the coop thru the entrance.

What's your plan for winter snow load on the roof wire? Maybe some corrogated metal laid over and fastened to the rails (a overhang would help keep the run drier in the winter and the rain
 
I opened this thread and the first thing out of my mouth was "Wow, thats a pretty coop".
