1st time chicken owner - Coop pics. Suggestions?

[Magenta_Chick]

I bought 6 little chicks last week and DH and I have been working on a 4x4 coop, since we live in GA, we're making the runner much bigger bc I doubt they will be spending much time in the coop anyway (right now I have 6, but I'm betting that at least 1 is a roo... which will leave me with 4 or 5)

Here is what we have so far.

PHASE 1: Frame

THIS DOESN'T LOOK GOOD!

PHASE 2: Sides

(The gap you see along the top is for additional ventilation... there is another gap on the back side too)


The plan tomorrow is to attach the nesting box, paint the sides, and add a door to the side for me to be able toclean the coop out.

Looks good to me! You're going to have fun with them. We brought our first chicks home a year ago and are thinking about getting a few more this year.
