Even following the links leaves me guessing about how you built this spectacular coop.

There are exactly zero pictures of construction, zero measurements, zero even in the linked thread. I would have really liked a drawing and/or pictures of how it is made.

Nice videos. I am in the process of completing my chicken coop construction and can sure relate to your surprise at how long the construction took. Any updated pictures of the coop?

Very nice! Please don't tell me it will take 10 months....I need a new coop in about 10 weeks!!! Like the brooder box idea, might incorporate it into my plan, here I go again changing things up!!! Hopefully my coop will be half a nice as yours, I have been collecting reusables for several months now, a friend in the construction business will have all the 2 x 4's, 2 x 6's and plywood I will need by the end of August so construction will start then. Wish me luck! By the way, I also have 4 goats, you will appreciate this....their names are Eva, Magda, Zsa Zsa and Oliver. The Goat Boer Sisters and Ollie the lawyer!!! Cheers, Sheila
