After too much procrastination, I finally have gotten somewhere with the coop build. I spent countless hours planning and searching BYC for ideas (more hours planning than building HAHA). Its a 4x8 floor, Exterior is 6 ft tall in front, 5 ft in back. 18 in underneath. Interior is 4 ft in front, 3 ft in back. It has 6 (external) nesting boxes, 3 windows, 1 pop door, 1 human door, vents, and a clean out for under the roost.
Here is what I have done so far.
Mocking up walls, and building nesting boxes.
Nesting boxes frame work.
Moved into run, and nailed up walls and started sheeting interior.
I got the roof trusses up today but the weather chased me indoors, also cut out the windows and pop door so where it sits now, it looks more like a coop than these pics show.
i'll post up some more tommorrow when I can get the pics. I have also been very busy with these....
