My Condo Coop Build w/Pics

After having chickens for only a year, chicken math really starts kicking in. With what I already have I am at my max with 12 chickens in one coop and 3 in a dogloo coop. I've also learned what I really need to improve on and make better this time around. So I finally talked my very sweet DH into building me my new Coop, or what I like to call my Condo Coop. I really don't have alot of space for multiple coops so we've combined them all into one divided coop with 4 seperate coop and run spaces so I can divide out my flocks. While my original coop will be turned into a grow out coop or just space for more chicken math

The first pic is of my plans that I doodled for my DH, which he has modified slightly since I am not building inclined

In the next pic is of some of the materials that we have bought and had left over from the previous coop

And so far what my DH has built. He makes it look so easy to do, he got this much done yesterday evening while I was making dinner. Will update with pics as the coop progresses!

Well today we didn't get any further because it decided to rain  and tonight they are calling for wintery mix. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little better weather wise.

This has been a slow build. Between the rain we have been slowly getting it built. Also finding a way to deconstruct the old run while the chickens are still using it to reuse the materials has been tricky!

Finally the roof is on and the run posts in.

Siding up on the front

Inside view of each coop, used hardware cloth to cover ventitation between each coop and on top.

Got more done this weekend, the rain didn't come! Really wanted to paint the inside before the back wall went up, but of course Lowes was sold out of all 5 gallon jugs of barn paint. Of course they would have a run on it the day I needed it  But we got all the walls up and the back doors on and one run completely finished. Even put my two little silkie roosters in the run with an old rabbit hutch for now. Just so we could take down their run for more lumber and fencing. So happy with the way it is going!

Back doors all on

The Silkie boys, checking out the new run.

Just three more runs to go, plus pop doors and paint!!!
