finally started on silkie coop

[itstrist]

so I have 4 silkies from ideal hatchery.

they're almost four weeks old so I know I needed to starting building a coop. I have been looking all over BYCat all types of coops & I decided on one I really liked. which is the mini coop posted by another BYC member.

& I also found another coop on craigslist I liked.

I'm now trying to make a coop like the combination of the two. The dimensions of the coop are 4x4x4 the front side will open with 2 different doors. the right door will be 3ft wide & 4ft tall and the left door will be 1ft wide & 4ft tall. the left door will be the pop door. This is what I have done so far.

I know the cuts along the roof line are not straight. I plan on cutting them down more and making then straight plus adding hardware cloth for ventilation. any suggestions for me? I'm brand new.

This is the coop I helped my sister build. As it shows in the video most of the wood came from pallets that we broke down. The thing I would change on it is making the run taller so you can go in to clean it.

Eichenwald goes to argue, if the United States had not started trying to break Japanese encryption few years before the attack on Pearl Harbor, America would not have gained the upper hand during the Pacific war in knowing Japan’s secret communication of troop positions. Due to that ‘hacking’ under ‘friendly’ times, American lives were saved.
