Absolutely amazing coop and article. Super sexy, great use of space. The details matter, and you provided fantastic content with images, and schematics. Wish I had seen this before I built mine- open air is the way to go in my opinion.
Beautiful well built coop!

What an incredible build!! You say you're not a carpenter, but you may be an author. Extremely well written, organized, presented and detailed. Thanks for sharing. -- hypotenuse -- now there's a word I haven't heard in forever.... :)

Amazing high-end coop for such a challenging terrain! :thumbsup
The article write up is very informative and highly detailed-Are you sure you’re not a professional builder?

Question- how do you find the roof panels holding up now that it’s been over a year?

Thanks so much for the kind words. Took a lot of effort but was worth it for the outcome.

Excellent article and very detailed description!

I thoroughly enjoyed not only looking at the pictures of your great coop but reading everything about it.

Just one little hint to avoid possible accidents:

The way the ladder is hinched could lead to broken legs if they get trapped in the gap while rushing out or in.

Wow! This is absolutely gorgeous. Lucky chooks, indeed! Excellent forethought and research put into every detail. I'm always flabbergasted at how innovative and handy people can be when building their coops/runs. I wish I had half the skills you possess. Great job!

Great article.
Nice details. One thing I see that you may want to think about changing slightly is the angle of the ladder. Making it a little less steep might help.

Thanks for the thoughts and rec. I think because of the slope of the hill, the ramp angle looks a little more exaggerated than it is in reality but I'll definitely keep an eye on it, particularly as they get more heavy footed. Thus far they've been doing fine with it.
