The south side of the Shack with 2 shuttered windows that open from the outside and the Dutch door I made. The door is made out of some left over siding from the house.
The pop door which can be opened from the outside and the nesting boxes from the inside. The dark trim board along the bottom the Shack is "alley pickup" from a cabinet maker in town. It is damaged and cut-offs from counter tops. With the lineloum floor and the countertop baseboard all caulked in, we are hoping the floor will be pretty moisture proof.
We covered the inside walls with a laminated, white utility room planeling. Then covered all mistakes and bad saw cuts of the paneling with more of the pallet planks used as trim and painted white. The poop deck another BYC idea is filled with Sweet PDZ for easy litter scooping. When needed the bottom of the poop deck can be screened in as a brooder for new chicks.
How it looks when opened up for light and breeze. When using the left over steel we had for the roof, we did not have all the right pieces and parts, so we just extended the steel panels over the edge and screwed them down. From an airplane you would see the roof is 2 colors of steel....that is what happens when using leftovers!

Their first night on a real roost!
It seems to meet everyone's approval.
The girls just got moved into their new Shack. So much brighter and cooler than the slapped together area in the barn where they had been living.
