I just threw this up for a little extra space for these little fuzzies. My neighbor had some extra flooring and I got a couple pallets.

That's adorable! Is the ramp closed up at night? I just ask because there's no ventilation, so I didn't know if they were locked in at night. If so, you might want to consider cutting a hole in the side & covering it with hardware cloth for ventilation.
Super cute idea!

You can't see it from the pics but on the outside wall under the tin roof there is a 4 inch space that goes the entire length of the coop. It is covered with screen to keep stuff out. The door/ramp closes and latches at night. I also made this with a floating floor, I can slide the floor out for cleaning.

That's good about the ventilation. Very smart to put it right under the overhang of the roof - no worries about rain! And I love the floating floor idea. I've been thinking of building a proper brooder box and I might have to borrow that idea!
