Here's the base:
A couple of walls up:
All of the walls and the roof:
The tin on the sides and the roof. The run is off to the left but it's difficult to see in this photo. (We put the door on after this picture.) The area at the top of the coop that isn't covered with tin is covered with chicken wire. It's like that all around the top right half of the coop. I wanted to ensure that there was enough ventilation. I know that the coop and run isn't perfect but it's working for us. For the run, we used 7-foot tall welded wire with chicken wire around the bottom part to help deter anything from digging under or reaching through. We also put bird netting over the entire run to keep out hawks, owls, or raccoons. I have plenty of space to expand later if I need to. I do wish that the run was larger, but once it warms up and I'm able to be out with them during daylight more, they'll be free to have the run of the yard.
