Great looking coop! I love the angled windows on the side. So what kind of chickens will be able to enjoy this great house?

I see from the picture that your using chicken wire. Chicken wire is not strong enough to keep out most predators. 1/2" hardware cloth is a better and stronger wire.

Love the coop! Do you have pictures of the inside? How many chickens do you have?

Thank you... I'm planning on going back with hardwire on the bottom portion as well ... I just like the look of the chicken wire.... I only have 1 pic of part of the inside.... We just got floors down today...

We have 6... 3 nesting boxes.... They will be free ranging a lot...

Love the floor! What are you going to put on it? We use sand in our coop. So easy to clean.

Thanks!!
I'm doing deep litter right now.... But my husband is soooo OCD about the grass... -all those shavings.. Lol.. I'm thinking of switching to sand for summer cause it gets HOT here!! We were just talking about getting a load dumped.... So do you clean your everyday? Cleaning isn't a problem for me.... My main concern about sand is the smell when it gets wet.... Do you have problems with that?
