Coop pretty much done! YEAH!

Inside is finished. Outside I put Cement 12 inches deep around the whole outside and put the bricks. Just got to get some welded wire and more bricks for the outside and a top and it will be done!!! And of course some nesting boxes but that will be a few months.

NICE!! Very nice indeed!! Your chickens will be quite happy in there.

Pretty cool.... good job

I like the way it disappears and becomes part of the rest of the building..... Probably the best example of a ""Stealth"" coop. Weather intended or not.... I know there have been some threads I have read about people worrying on how to disguise their coops from the neighbors.

Thanks I got the same paint as the house I wanted it to be pretty decent so neighbors would think it was just thrown together since we are all pretty close. Luckly my grandma and aunt live right across from me! They can keep a good watch too.

I also have a motion sensor light that comes on at night not sure if that does any good lol.

Will 3ft tall Welded wire over the chicken wire be good????
Thanks

well it will be supported by the posts right ? I would use 2x4's on the side or maybe 2x3's to support the sides.

 

[magoochie]

if you leave those blocks on the side are you going to plant any goodies in them for your chickens to peck at through the wire? I'm sure they would love it!

Yep supported by posts.
