I can see the ad: "Open concept, no AC but well ventilated, must like chickens..."

I built the last two walls yesterday while my sister and BIL went to Ogdensburg to get BlackJack 57 (Lowes) and two bags of Sweet PDZ (TSC). This morning we put them in place.

I will install the floors this afternoon.

Looks good but how long has that CDX plywood on the garage been exposed like that?

Looks like OSB to me.

It is OSB and coated on the outside with something shiny and smooth. Rain does not penetrate, just runs off.

Has been on 2-3 years (one of those shoes for the cobbler's children things).

First section of 2" thick floor (two layers of 1" by 6"installed at 90 degree to one another). I planed the top boards (everything else is rough cut lumber) to help with cleaning and then will cover with BlackJack 57.

I have run out of wood, obviously miscalculated, will have to get more tomorrow but my seven ready to lay hens arrive in the morning so they come first.

You are so right! I have been in a frenzy since last Friday when I started to assemble the coop. My sister and BIL arrived very early Tuesday morning and are a great help. The coop will be habitable and secure this weekend, no run but better that the temporary cage I have for them when they arrive. It is not secure but I will move it in and out of the workshop over the next few days.
