Leghorn

I have only screwed half the roof on as I am trying to figure out how to hinge the roof do I can open it easily to clean and get inside ect...I actually bought the barn style because of its large opening at the front...easy for my silkies to get in and out. Also I can get in through there if needed easily.

My Roo decided to go and live with all my LF girls...I guess he likes big butts and he cannot lie!

So I am going to set mine up in a grow out coop for my silkies that I just hatched last week...it can be their little house in a grassed coop....

Oh I just finished painting mine and I made a door and wired the windows...pics to come tomorrow...
