I briefly looked at it will study more when I'm on my computer tonight. I my personal feeling would not build anything I couldn't physical go into to clean. And I'd never crawl into a coop.

Been there, done that. Getting too old for that, but hey if this person wants to it's a free country.

Busy week(end), we got the walls framed, coop moved, and everything attached into place. The girls got to sleep in the new digs this past Thursday. We finished up everything on Saturday and have since added a door for the pop door, hinged nest box openings on the right side of the coop, and a 70" roosting bar extending from L-R inside for the girls to sleep on, they seem to love it so far! Next thing is to get some metal roofing on top and get it all painted when we have the time. The girls also got to enjoy clearing out the garden while we got everything set up for them. Hopefully, a solid home for a long time, we are very happy with our first custom build!

Glad they like it.

Looking good, mine is in a shady spot so I had to put the clear fiberglass roofing over the roost side so enough light would get in while they sorted out who roosts where...
