Adventures in Coop Bulding with Little Money

[JenBoughtHens]

So I figured I would share this coop build as I go along so y'all can tell me what I am doing wrong (or right)!
This is the area I plan to build in.
Thinking two story coop.. bottom level off the ground a foot or two.. then use the little tikes playhouse as the penthouse floor.

nest box? Maybe sectioned off for 3 laying areas.

Ingenious design, but how will you keep the chickens from getting out of the top part? Is it plastic or is there something to nail wire to?

 

[JenBoughtHens]

Definitely adding wire up top. Haven't quite made it that far.
