This is my first chicken coop and has served as a home for 8 chickens
along with fifteen chicks that hatched under two hens, and hopfully many more to come.

Nesting boxes going in
Fencing nailed on the run
I nailed strips of 2x4 welded wire fencing on top of the nest boxes to prevent the chickens from pooping on top of them, it also gives me some storage space.
