Built by my husband, kids and myself...... Kind of lol

[lampertchick]

My husband started this build for me last year. I could probably give you the exact time I've been waiting for it to be finished but I won't go into the fine details lol.

The building is 8x8 and the run is 8x14.

We aren't completely done and will be doing the finishing touches to it this week and next.

It's not perfect to some but I'm so thankful for it and that it was built by our little family!

Thank you and I agree!!! I've just seen how people pick things apart at times. It is perfect to me and I couldn't be more happy with it. Thank you again!

Obviously made with love. I like the old-fashioned barnwood door.

Is the ventilation on the other side?

There are two windows on the other side I just don't have pictures of that side

Just be aware that chicken wire isn't predator proof, so if predators are a concern that's something to consider. Also, just out of curiosity, how do you maintain the run area?

I see a gate to it, where it connects to the coop.

Right, but... how would one scoop out used bedding, poop, access wayward eggs or injured birds, etc? I'm of course assuming everyone has a bad back like me and can't bend down easily. Kids would be one answer, I'm sure.

Ah! True.. that would be rough on the back.

Yes, that was how I managed it.
