Currently building our farmhouse coop and run

[Longhornlove]

Working to have this completed by the time our new flock will be old enough to move in. The farmhouse coop is 10 x 5 with 5 nest boxes and the run is 10 x 30. Plus they will be allowed to free range out of the run every now and then. This is where we are at now. Should be done very soon.

Whoaaaa! Nice!
That is one serious structure!
Will have a solid roof I presume?
Hardware cloth walls?
Looking forward to watching it progress.
