I liked seeing all the photos but it would be helpful to read how you built the coop...materials used, approximate cost, etc. Good job for the first coop you've ever built, great size too!
This is a nice, basic coop. There's room to stand and work and plenty of room for Chicken Math to do it's job. The rain barrel is a good idea. Some info on how it was done would be helpful to others who would like to try it. The only reservation I would have is about predator proofing. It looks like the run started out as just chicken wire (smart move, adding the heavier fencing.) If chicken wire is what is buried underground as a safety apron, it will need to be replaced asap. Chicken wire is designed to keep chickens in. It does NOT keep predators out - the openings expand easily with a little paw pressure. The other big drawback of chicken wire is that most of it rusts, especially when in direct contact with the ground.
All in all, this is a good project - especially for a first coop build. Nicely done!
