Thanks for the input I have gone back and tried to add a little info on the project.
tell me what u guys think..

saddlebags, that looks good. My only suggestions are:

1) Add a hard return between each picture so the page scrolls down instead of sideways
2) Add some information about the coop, e.g., how you built it, what you'd change if you were going to build it again, etc.

Thanks to you and everyone for your submissions!

Well finally some pictures of the ladies Coop 6' x 8' . It's 95% finished i just need to hang the main door, seal up the places that leak, and install the fencing for "Run", I still havent decided on the design of the nesting boxes but I'm leaning towards the USPS Priority box style (easy cheap and compostable LOL)

The wife wants to know why the girls get Anderson window and we dont LOL. Told her 10 bucks for theirs thats why

Left over board insulation on exterior wall

4 ft roosts with additional places at an angle. the main roost is 6 ft long at 4' high, there is an additional 6 ft long one at 2.5' high. the higher roost is 2 ft ack from the wall with a spcing on 18" to the lower roost

Electical plug goes inside to a powerstrip mounted on the wall above the window.
I dont see getting it painted before the ladies move in as it has gotten to cold according to the paint can instructions to paint, but then again I may still paint the interior on a sunny day before they move in. I insulated the rafters on the window side with r-13 but not on the roost side as the girls will just peck at it. I will be using DLM method with DE.

one more of Tweetie at 5 weeks now, helping my wife with a puzzle. The wife was explaining that hitting the escape key with your beak was a no no and that there was "no escape she's stuck in NH" LOL

I finally took some pictures of my coop. I built it a few years ago so I don't have any "in progress"pics. I didn't have a clear plan, sort of just went with it. Just took ideas that I liked from other coops but the most important thing was that it had to be easy to clean.

peehead, your coop is charming. I love the glass-brick windows with the light shining through. It looks so cozy.

Tazcat, your run looks great! And it's great what you did with that derelict hutch.

Great coops... thanks for the photos.
It's rather fun building a henhouse, isn't it? Once you get going, I mean.

And if there are no smashed thumbs.
