Nicely done!!!! I do have one question; also being a new guy to all this, but I remember reading the roost board should be round????...is that true???

Looks Great, very good ideas...I just harvested my first egg last night...Looking forward to having a new hobby.

I thought that might be true as well, but I was then told by a member here that putting a 2x4 flat was good because the chickens wouldn't have to constantly grip. Since I'm on the new side, I took this advice. Sounds sound to me.

ohhhhhhh I am having 'run' envy - I love your setup!

Great coop! I like the roof angle that follows the line of the shed it backs onto. Good design eye I wonder if you have plans for closing the chicken door within the larger swing doors? I know that we lock our hens into their coop each night even though their area seems predator proof--just for another degree of protection for them. ~G

Something that I have thought about, but have decided to leave it the way it is unless there seems to be a problem. The coop and run are actually under a huge night light so I should be able to see if there becomes a problem with predators. That and the dogs will probably let me know. If it does look like I might need to add one later, I bet I could design something where a slide over the opening.
Thanks!

Good looking coop. Looks very well built.

Just checking...........is there a gap above and below the run door? Can't really tell. If so you will need to fill that in.
