The Christmas Condo Coop
My wife has wanted to raise a few laying chickens for a while now so I'm building her a coop.
Since it's a Christmas present for my wife and my cousin says that the chickens have a condo.
It's the "Christmas Condo Coop".

Step 1: Find a large scrap pile to pick thru for the good stuff. | |
Step 2: Get the old flat-bed boat trailer out of the shed and start framing the walls. | |
Step 3: Finish framing the wall and the roof. | |
Step 4: More walls and the roof put on. | |
Step 5: Insulate floor, roof, walls, and put tin on roof. | |
Step 6: Put the window (plexiglass) in and the last wall on with the pop door cutout. | |
Step 7: Make a video of your progress and show off to all your Facebook friends. |
Step 8: Redo the back pop door so it's on a sliding track and not hinged. | |
Step 9: Build nestboxes and roosts. | |
Step 10 Put the people door on. |

Things I need to do yet are:
- Build the door.
- Add more ventilation (mainly in the door).
- Put linolium tile on floor.
- Paint
- Add trim
- Extend the run out the front.
- Build covered run out the front.
- Move the whole coop out to where my wife wants it.
- Build run out the back.
More to come.
Thanks for looking.
