Chicken mansion

It looks a lot bigger in real life!
Got the floor joists in today! Super pumped for this build. Coop itself is 10x20’. Attached run is also 10x20’. We are leaving a little over 2’ of space under the coop for additional run space.

Not yet! I got a little too excited lol. We are planning on putting the floor down and framing tomorrow though.

Taking pics all thru the process is always much appreciated.
Understand that can be a PITB tho.

Got the floor and framing up today. We are doing a slanted roof and finished most of the framing for that after I took the photo. I took a little break and my favorite girl Burrito needed to take one too.

Hey looks great but remember they do need ventilation, the sloped roof is great add hardware cloth to openings... Skip the chicken wire

I’ve had countless bear attacks. No need to tell me about chicken wire. This baby will be well secured!

Roof and most of the walls are on! Left one panel off to install the door. We decided to do soffit for ventilation. Anyone have any knowledge on the adequacy of that for ventilation?
