Hi all, Kycklingmamma again.

I have tried for a day and a half to get these d---n pics on here, and you know what, I gave up. I am now posting this via photobucket, I sure hope that is OK.
This pic is of the frontdoor into our coop, Petra's Pecker Palace.

This is of the side that faces out into the yard, The other side faces the neighbors fence. As you can see the coop is very open, for the reason of it being so d---n hot here for long periods of time. You can see the plastic rolled up and hooked with chains, when it rains or in the winter we roll this down and the girls and boys stay dry and warm...we spoil them, they have heater in there, a fan, as well as a mosquito zapper, and of course a lamp. You can also see the dormers by the nesting boxes, and how the open up, to make for more of a breeze in there.

The last pic is of the back of the coop, i.e I am standing in the run taking this pic. The top doors lead into the nesting boxes and that is how we collect the eggs, unless we go through the coop and get them from the front. The bottom "door" is were the chickens get out into the run in the morning.

That ia beautiful!

What a palace! Thanks so much for all the hard work with the pictures.

I hope I will be able to make something like that, even half as nice would be an accomplishment for me.

NICE!! That's what I'm thinking about, "beefy-er" for more chickens with the boxes up like that. I was thinking of putting the roosts side-ways instead of long-ways for side to side support.

Biggest thing I'm having trouble figuring out is the angle of the roof peak. If I can figure that out all the rest of them should just roll.

Thank y'all so much. we love it and so does the girls and boys.
The reason we went with the roosts longways is to acommodate more hens as well as keep them out of the weather, but sideways would be cool too.
