Wow you have put a lot of work in to it just cleaning it out. Great job and I think it will make a great coop. Can't wait to see your progress!

Looks like a great set-up, I'm jealous,

. Your plans look good but remember that the meaties will have trouble getting up a ramp once they really start putting on weight, so you may want to rethink having that portion of the coop elavated. keep us posted on your progress, can't wait to see the end result. Good luck.

Thanks for the tip! I've had meat birds before, but never in an elevated coop- is the same true of the slightly less heavy meat birds (I'm planning on these: https://secuservices.com/ideal/newideal/selectproduct.aspx?qty=1&ID=RBS&Product=402) or just the CornishX's?

Update! The shell of the coop is up, most of the fencing, a few things have changed. And I need opinions: paint it barn red to match the bigger barn it's attached to, or a yellow to brighten the shade of the run a bit?

Finished it yesterday! (Well, mostly) Still needs paint and a roost, but it's all set for living in!
