Coop finally finished !!!!!!!

Wow, beautiful coop! Are those French doors I see?? Nice touch. Is that some sort of electric chicken door opener? What did you use? I love the run too - what is the area that looks like it has a tarp over it?

My mama would say it is "classy!"

Lots and lots and lots will be going to birdies. One of the great things about having the coop in the vegetable garden, I can throw them goodies all the time.

Thanks for remembering. I just think it would be toooo awesome to serve dinner in the middle of the garden that provided the food.
Some fabulous egg dish...
Maybe breakfast with bloody Mary's and scrambled eggs. Hehe

Yes, salvaged french doors. I wanted to give the coop lots of light and air. Electric door opener I got on the net. Morris automatic chicken door. The tarp is just temporarily nailed to the end of the run. It gets full sun all day. I am going to grow some trees and shrubs to give them more shade.
I think a blueberry hedge and a couple of fruit trees.

Mendogirl, that is BEAUTIFUL! We're building ours, some great ideas and problems-solved here. Thank you!
Couple questions: is that corrugated roofing that you used under the sill? I'm trying to figure out what to do below ours - was going to bury hardware cloth but this would keep more critters out and drafts out, too. (We're in Colorado, more of a problem... are you in Mendocino?
What did you use for the floor of your run? Can't quite tell... sand?
How many chickens?
Awesome.
