Finished the run a few updated pix.....
The run:
The inside of the coop :
The future inhabitants:
getting a little crowded at one week.....we're borrowing a large brooder from a friend of my wife ...this old tub shrunk quickly.....
I found the packing crate on craigslist -they're used by moving and storage companies to store personal belongings and furniture....with very little time off from work I needed a shortcut to walls and floor......the crates are really well designed-they pack flat and are held together with metal...
Hey ,thanx for all the comments! The roofing material called for a 3 inch per foot pitch and we wanted a lot of overhang....so that's why it looks kind of tall ...the sides of the roof will be closed in but the front will be open for ventilation-there's a large wire covered vent in the ceiling...
Our new coop started out as a used packing crate:
After some paint -random brown "mistints" from Lowes,time to frame a roof with large overhang -we get a lot of rain....
