Wall going up, 8' long roost being built. Afterwards 1x4x8 were screwed on top of the 1x1 roost to widen them up. Roost is connected with hinges so that it can be raised and secured to the roof for cleaning time.
Custom door, 24' of roosting space. Based on the square foot of the coop portion I'm supposed to be able to comfortably hold 24 chicks. We will see...
Wall and PVC feeder built. Feed was gravity fed into a pan. Built an empty box covered with hardware cloth to catch wasted feed. Sort or work but in the end I ditched it. Inside of coop I built a removable wooden box for dust bathing. Contained wood ash from my fireplace, sand and DE.

Floor in place, wall separating coop and storage still needed to be built.
More work being done on inside.
Inside of coop, looks nice so far. Learned a lot from this website. Prior to this I have never built anything this big or complex. Thanks to the internet and BYC for hours and hours of info to read.
