So i may have been wrong about the late bloomer silkies. they are laying eggs lol.

good i seem to be getting close. another window or two should set me straight.

They rarely go in the coop during the day, they get worms in the morning then terrorize all the bugs and dig holes all over the place when its hot lol. they have some great spots right now to some picnic tables under some low growing trees. If i ever have fly strike problems ill be weirded out...

I'll have to measure out all I have so far. A 6 inch tall strip across the front where the roof slopes by 8feet. 0-6 inches by 6 feet on both sides of the roof. Then I currently have 2 windows on the run side one in the front and 1 on non run side. Intend to cut second on non run side. Do u have...

Allright phone finnaly would let me charge it. So here's where all the roosts currently are. I'm really liking the idea of the 45 degree roof on them.

Anyone got advice on keeping my smaller ones from grouping up on top of the nesting boxes? Manually moving them isnt getting the point across yet.

Decided to add the slope to it. Now I just gotta talk my butt In to the shingles. Those chickens sure are nosey when ur working.

Got to finish the skirt for the run, and the windows need to be secured, and I need to pitch the roof and get the shingles on and secure the gap it will leave. Can't believe how much work it is. I keep moving group 2 at night to not perch on the nesting boxes but they refuse to not go right back...

I have a large pile of shingles a friend offloaded on me. now i have to do the darned roof lol.

thats a very pretty dakota. first chicken dakota ive met, dogs for days though.

It really is cute to see how interested they are with what im doing to their house. lol They are by every 20 or 30 minutes and all like hey how u doing lol.

poor chickens. they watched me work for hours and hours. and their copps not completely done yet. poor things. it looks so much better, i have to cut and wire in the windows that dont see into the run tomorrow, and build me a door, i just screwed the panel i cut out for it back in for the night...

So what ur saying is during the winter on here ilk be laughing and crying. Lol. Wire, whew. I'm like 1.5 k into this coop. I never plan to rebuild it. O.o Here's a silkie for yall.

I'm still loling @DobieLover imagining someone trying to prop up a filling tarp in the middle of a blizzard they built over a chicken coop with no plywood on it. While their chickens sit in their living room. Lol

Oh the plywood going up this week I literally am just stuck at the top of it problem. Lol maybe I'll get a proper metal or shingle to go on it before winter. But damn if shit ain't expensive . And ty for the ventilation advice

Just ordered the materials to make the coop 8x6x6. Although for now the roofs getting a tarp. My ass ain't got roofing money. All those wood panels ain't cheap. Can't wait to have their home done. Anyone got advice for the ventilation in the winter? I'm thinking front and sides will have a 6...

especially trying to get those over head 4x4s up by myself lol. my camper will blow over before that run does lol.

got 2 sides down now. 1 to go. Its alot of work putting things together lol.

New run finnaly built. 8x6x6. It's nice to not stuff them all in the closed coop every night now. Got most the apron down now. Can't wait to redonthe coop side next.

those chickens are funny. they spent my whole work day in the trees right behind their coop on this hill. they look so silly. its nice to go get equipment or tools and see their little selves watching me.
