Finally got the run up and functional! All that's left to do now is nesting boxes on the back, shingles on the roof, and siding!

I really like them so far. They work quite well, but we did have to buy some extensions for the window cranks because they were hitting the 2x4's. Thanks for the advice! Both the water and food are hanging now. I just didn't have the hook the first night they were in the coop. I'm hoping to...
