That is absolutely adorable!! Mind if I copy your ideas?? That would make a wonderful nursery coop for me til my newbies are old enough to go to the big coop.

I love seeing the progression of your coop. We are still building ours from recycled (30% at least) redwood. It is talking much longer and the rain has been a huge delay for us. Not used to that in California in June. Are you planning to lay down hardware cloth to protect coop from diggers? Post more pics.

I'm sure it would make a great nursery coop!

We dug the posts down 2ft and the rest is 1 ft dug out. Our plan is to put hardware cloth 1 ft in and all the way up. We will put cinder blocks in front of the hardware cloth that is in the ground and then dirt to fill up the holes.

Second side is up!

The clouds are upon us, so we get to find out if there are any holes to patch.

let's hope not.

I want one for a duck house! Not too bad of a price on that cute little thing. Cedar too! Very cute.

I foresee a call duck house in my future. I keep seeing the plastic sheds for cheap on CL but we already chopped a bunch of holes in a metal one and I was having flash backs to that day.

The metal was hard enough, I don't want to fight with plastic!

That little building though, you can hardly buy new cedar wood and make something that cute as fast as you can get that put together and altered a bit. If I fenced it in, I could make an inside duck watering system to catch the mess water they throw around. Up a foot, plastic bin under it, rabbit wire floor on half of it. I can see it now!

Super cute idea!

Tovah, I like the angle of your picture! I might try to take pictures from the bedroom windows upstairs.

Looks like a good start on yours!

Would love to see it!

Only had one place where rain got through, I'm rather satisfied with that. Easy fix.
