Inside of the coop being sided. We insulated it put 2 lights in, an exhaust fan and an outlet in case we ever need it.
The flooring we did. I hope this works for us. We tacked up chicken wire covering the bottom so no critters could get under it. Then we put a layer of gravel down. Our soil is not that well draining so we thought this might help. Then my Dad dug me up some nice well draining sand. Once the sand is in and we get ready to move the chicks we will put pine shavings in and use the deep litter method. When we clean it we will just clean down to the gravel and add more sand and pine shaving and compost the poo for next years garden.
Another view. The outside run will be 8 x 50 aprox when finished, We have the one window and the free door we have is a glass pained window.
Outside of coop. 8 x 8 with a tin roof and then we will put siding on it to match the house.

The brooder where we will have 15 female chicks on the right and 6 guineas on the left. Have to get another heat lamp and food and water dishes for guineas. It is an old trailer we had laying around so my husband just some plywood to separate the areas. Then I tacked up some tar paper my Dad had laying around. Also he cutting his own pine siding to side his hunting shack so all my pine shavings are FREE! I am thinking about maybe putting some sand under the pine shavings but not sure if I should or not?
