Hi guys!

Our coop is finally done & I have a few pics to share!

 

We loosely followed these plans. We extended the run by a few feet and basically used the plans as a picture to work off of. The only other major thing we changed was probably adding the metal roof for better rain protection (Portlanders will understand this, haha). We estimates the total price to be about $700. It took about 7-8 weekends to finish(super slow, right? tongue.png).

 

Here's an overview pic (so, so sorry about the messy straw everywhere!):

We currently have 6 chickens:

Sunny (for sunny side up) - A black Cochin with white wingtips

Huevos - Australorp

Frittata - A gold & black Americauna (or easter-egger)

Florentine - Ditto but bearded

Meringue - Appenzeller Spitzhauben

Quiche - Silver laced Wyandottes (hope I spelled that right!):

Thanks for looking! D.gif

Great looking coop. Really nice job.

Two araucanas, two black sex links, a buff orpington, a speckled sussex, a blue cochin and silver cuckoo marans. And two rescue dogs, a rescue cat, two ponds full of goldfish and koi, and a few turtles.

It's beautiful!  I love the black hardware and the colors you chose.

We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.
