"Almost" done coop

[bearfretworks]

Here's the "almost" finished coop in August.... About 2/3 of the materials are salvaged/scavenged. Need to finish tearing down an outbuilding on the neighbors land for siding. Meat birds on uninsulated left, laying hens on fully insulated (including floor) on right. Storage in middle! Left side is 8x8, insulated part is 10x 12. We are going for that "old building" look....

....and today.............a few of the girls poked out and about.....

Looks good. I have a bantam coop being built and it's almost done too

I can't wait. Than I get to get my poor babies out of cages and into their new home

WITH a yard, although they won't get the yard until spring time. Too frozen to dig right now.

Yall did a great job on the coop !!!!! That looks better than some people houses that I've seen !!!!

That looks so good and really homely. I really prefer it to some of the coops posted that are obviously made from all new materials. It seems such a good idea to reuse timber if it is available instead of buy new.
I am sure your chickens will be very happy there.

Wonderful coop! I've just had my coop repaired and stocked. I noticed that Hangin Wit My Peeps said they have a bantam coop being built also. I have most of my chickens in the same coop. Should I build another one for the bantams?
