Pictures of Coop Construction. The first real build is DONE!

I built my first coop this last week and I used your plan with a few changes. Mine wont be as nice but it is ready for more chickens. I liked yours because it was easy to see that it can easily be upgraded and can house enough chickens

We'll all I need is the chickens just finished up the last touches the ramp going in the coop, the screen on the windows, and the bamboo for the perches. The wheels will be installed in a couple weeks

Looks like they enjoy the front porch, what no rocking chairs.

Thanks so much! Great post and as a newbie chicken owner getting ready to build my first coop, very educational!

I love this coop! My husband and I are busily entering all the materials into his OpenSCAD program to figure out all the minute details, and to make it just a bit taller so neither of us has to duck when we go in. We keep disagreeing with each other about which gender pronoun to use to reference the author/builder, and we just smile because it doesn't matter anyway

THANK YOU TONS! For this detailed post! For the photos, written instructions, pros and cons, what you learned and will do better, what you did well and wouldn't change. Whoever you are, if I ever meet you I would hug you!
