I built this coop in about 8 hours with some old and new landscape timbers, 3 1/2 sheets of plywood a friend from work gave me, thanks Brian, screws and a chicken transport box my neighbor gave me, Thanks Ty.
This shows the platform for the box. Notice the chainsaw, this was a precision build,
Placed the box on the platform.
Precisely cut the posts for walls and Roof.
Roost made from old landscape timbers. Also notice the ventilation holes in the door of the nesting boxes.
Girls already checking out the new pad.
I put a decent pitch on the roof to keep the snow from piling up too much. I also kept potential drafts to a minimum due to the winters here in western VA.
The opening on the bottom is the doorway for them to get in/out.
I plan on adding some sideshields to the roof/nesting box, and protecting it with some paint.
