That is a very interesting chicken coop. I can't wait to see more pictures as you get more done.

It will be easy to heat and cool, and you won't have to worry about drafts. Pretty cool
Keep us posted

I'd like to see any predator get into that!

That is a true Fort Knox coop, I believe.

Fort Knox coop

Now if they would please just start laying GOLDEN eggs we will really be in business

 

[NoSpringChick]

I really like that! Very creative!

 

[SterlingAcres]

That's cool! Are you going to knock a hole out above ground or just open the door for them?

 

[dixygirl]

There is a square vent opening up on each side wall ... about the size of a doggie door!
Similar to this

Theoretically i could make one the door to collect eggs on one side and the other the door to go outside.

I think i will just let them out though at first. Maybe later on i will upgrade it.

I am getting exhausted thinking about all that would be involved in that.. I think i will take it bit by bit. For now i will just nail a 2x4 across the back for a roost and build a box for a nest. Once I really think about it and get some more energy I will probably do the upgrades. I don't have any help really, you see.

Great coop! It should be highly predator-proof.

I like your coop and wish I had one like it - great possibilities.
