    Finally finished before the heat gets here

    Hey all. Chicken newbie here. Just finished my first coop...all before the 110 degree heat here in Phoenix. So, needless to say, I'm stoked. Although, the chickens were a bit confused by the rearrangement of their roost, but they'll get over it...I hope. I think it has just enough shade...
