Nice coop! That black paint you have used on the inner floor, is that water resistant, like used on the foundings of houses?

Yep it's called black jack and is made for a roof. I learned about it on this site lol. It's kind of like a rubber coating and I just used a roller to paint it on.

Show only:

Enjoying their porch :)

Wolves from my daughters broken coat tree which will have plexiglass behind them during winter for a baffle to keep wind from blowing in the pop door!

Nest box / poop board / roost. Blocked off with cardboard since it will be a while till they lay

I think they like it in there lol

Had to coax them out after two days getting used to being in coop!

Front detail before porch was done

Back doors open for cleaning access and to feed and water. Also going to make screen panels that can allow doors to be open during worst of summer heat. The back will be fenced behind coop with covered run also. Have also added locks to the top of both doors.

Inside after blackjack painted on floor and a few inches up walls. A drain was put in floor where the paper is sticking up.

The other side with another window. Have also added awnings to both side windows to block sun and rain.

Side up with window and egg reach through access

Front view and painted brown outside

Front of coop added, used 4x8 osb panels ( I know .. ) cut out before putting up and painted white inside

Rafters and painting as we go

some framing and floor added

Started with 4 x 4s cemented in for a 4 x 8 coop, no plans, just ideas from this site and searching the Internet!
