Watching the chickens enjoy their first day in the big girl coop.
The girls love their greens.
Storage portion of the coop, with nesting boxes under cover and out of the weather. My wife insisted on being able to check on the girls from the storage/nest box area, so I cut in this little opening with one screened door and one windowed door for when it gets colder. It actually worked well. The week they were sequestered inside, we could just reach through to fill both the feeder and water bucket, plus offer treats since the low roost is just inside the window ledge. The retractable key ring has keys for both storage and the coop padlocks. It's handy, and when the racoons figure how to take the keys and open the locks, it's time for us to stop raising chickens.

Our new 8X20 coop and run, almost finished, except for some paint, trim, and a ramp.The coop windows are hand made from 2x stock and some left over polycarbonate material from an old tear down years ago. The coop doors also open up like the windows, so my pulley system works for both. When cleaning the coop, we just move the fastener from the window down to the door and hoist away. The vent openings above are covered with hardware cloth on the inside. Still haven't figured what we want to place outside yet.
