Hello everyone!
Our coop is still under construction, but coming along nicely! I'll post updates as the project continues...
Thanks for looking!

We started with a prebuilt 8x12 shed from Old Hickory Buildings:
Next, we purchased a vinyl flooring remnant, and sealed the edges. We also added some roosts made from shelving brackets and decking material.
I continued in the decking department and used some railing material to make a roost. I attached it at the top with hinges so that I can lift it for easier cleanup...
The shed has a 3x3 window which needed a stronger screen for predator protection. I made a 3x3 frame to fit over the existing window and covered it with hardware cloth. I attached it with hinges and a lock at the bottom so that I could easily open the frame and open or close the coop's window. (I'll try to get a better picture)
5/3 update:
I've completed the nest boxes with the exception of adding a slanted roof so they don't roost on top of it and a little ladder....
The girls were able to move in and quickly climbed up to the top of the roost!
You can't see it too well, but i used a shelving bracket to hang the feeder...
More to come soon....
