Thank you all for the comments. Now that it is complete, we love it out back. This time of year the weather here is great so we took advantage of it and had dinner on the back patio last night.

Usually they will be covered with the slatted bench lid. Right now since it is still a little cool out and the fish are small, I open it in the day to give them more sun. Through the summer, it will stay closed.

It was one year ago when I began a new project. I was going to build a chicken coop and start a little back yard flock. The endeavor quickly grew to much more than just a coop, adding an aquaponics garden and ultimately, re-landscaping the entire back yard. I started out spending a lot of time...

Mine are the same way. They are 21 weeks now. Over the past couple of weeks I have tried corn, cabbage, water melon, cucumbers... They avoid it all.

I have a couple of things to add still to the coop. I bought some chicken nipples and would like to plumb them into the under side of the house. I'm looking for a pressure regulator/reducer which can be used to reduce the pressure to ~1 psi. Any ideas?

Our coop has been a great project, but really it is only half of what we are building. We still have to extend the patio roof of the coop to cover our aquaponics garden which is the next phase of the build. After looking around at lots of coops we settled on the Garden Coop design as we...
