woodlandwoman, yea I figured I'd have to close some of them up when winter comes. I figured the opening under the edge of the roof on the back (2nd picture) could be left open during winter so we made the roof overhang quite a bit. Also the side closest to the camera actually has a huge tree...

nevermind

We have 6 little ones already that are probably wishing I'd hurry up and finish this thing. I was hoping to add a couple americanas or easter eggers for some different colored eggs. So that should work out ok Oh, and I'm in Riverdale, which is a little west of Alma, and south of Mt. Pleasant

hmmm. Maybe I can figure out a way to put removable screens in the side doors for summer. They are pretty big. Its hard to see in the picture, but if you look close you can see it on the closest side sense its not fitted closed yet. The other side is the exact same. Thanx for the help :)

So, I had a piece of a deck, and a broken utility trailer I took wood from, so the coop is half scrap wood. Anyway, its 4 foot by 8 foot. We are going to make some kind of eaves over the windows yet, and still have to shingle the roof and make boxes and a few other things. I'm just making sure...

new plan = get new coop, then get chickens. This thing is way to small.

Hi. First post here, but I'm looking for some hens. I'd prefer to avoid waiting a long time for egg production, so I don't want baby chicks. Plymoth rock, or Rhode island reds would be nice, but anything that lays good edible eggs and does ok with MI weather is ok. I'm putting the coop together...
