Coop 2006-2009 WARNING: LOTS OF PICS!

[Rare Feathers Farm]

Okay...so here are some of the progression photos of my coop. It's still not done--so I'll have to keep adding to this page as I go...

November 2005, the future spot of the coop:

Coop spring 2007--it went one year without a window but I can't find pics on this computer...

The coop was previously 8'x8' and split down the middle inside & out. One side housed my Brahmas, the other my Muscovies.

Getting the walls & roof on....

Putting in the new window:

Got the new roof on both sides, but still needs to be trimmed in this picture:

New window in:

Overhang for ventilation--can be closed up when needed (located on South side of the building)
backside--old meets new

One of the two vents on the East & West wall. Larger than they look and they can be closed, if needed:

Starting to get it painted:

A shot of the outside from August. I've since gotten the trim painted white (including around the window) and the entire outside painted green.

I have since finished caulking the cracks, we have four large fowl pens done, all of the runs 75% done (still need to add covers before birds go out), one of the bantam pens is completed. Oh and I painted a lot of the inside.
