Finished coop pics!

[BoerneChickens]

OK - I jsut had to post a pic. The girls moved in about two weeks ago and they seem to love it. I keep making little additions to the outside and I think it looks so pretty I had to share a pic! I used the plans for the Garden Coop and resized it slightly - but the plans made it possible for me to build it all on my own!

Excellent Job! There is just something awesome about doing it yourself!

Thanks!!! It took me about 4 weekends and lots of spare hours here and there, but I am so happy with how it turned out.

Beautiful! how may chiocken are you gonna be fitting in there?

Ultimately I will have 4 full sized and 3 bantams - the run is just under 70 sq ft and the house is about 24 sq ft. The 4 standard sized girls have moved in - the 3 bantam chicks come in a few weeks so they won't move in for some time yet.

I saw on your signature the kind of hens you have, you must get pretty colorful eggs every day!

I hope I will get colorful eggs - but these are my first chickens and they are only 7 weeks old - so I have a few more months to wait until I strt seeing eggs - but I can't wait! I hope hope hope that I get at least one that lays blue eggs

You have 3 EE I'm pretty sure you will get blue eggs from one of them! I just ordered some EE from cackle, So I have to wait for colorful eggs even more than you do.

Great job! It looks like you thought of everything and it's pleasant to look at too. I'm sure you'll be finding yourself parked out front watching lots of chicken t.v.!
