Finished our first coop/tractor!

I hope it's secure enough to keep them safe!!

Very nice with the apron.

Looks very secure, Like the solar security lights

Is the AWW box under the coop a poop catch?

Adorable

Yay, they made it through the first night, and went into the coop when it got dark

Nope, it's just to keep it off the ground. Good idea though, I should look into doing something like that!

Very cute!

Thanks! My hubby does good work

I had to fight him on the hardware cloth (he wanted chicken wire) and he thinks the cement blocks are overkill; but I figure I can take those off once the grass grows around/through the mesh.

Ha ha, I hear you on the cement blocks. I have them all the way around my run skirt. DH says we don't need them but they are additional piece of mind.

How pretty! Not only a safe place for your chickens, but also something nice to look at in your yard!

Question for you all. We have 2 chickens in there right now, do you think we could fit another or should I stick with 2? The doghouse/coop is about 9 square feet (the run is about 32 sq ft) so I'm thinking we should stick with 2 until we can make/get a larger coop in the future if we decide to expand.

What do you think?
