First Coop Ever!

Hit me up with questions or comments. I am eager to get any feedback. I designed this myself using some graph paper and took some ideas from the Internet.

Backstory: Finally made the leap and got some chicks right at the end of April and had about 4 weeks to put this together before leaving on a trip out of state. The chicks were tearing up the basement and pooping to their little hearts content so I knew I had to get them out of there before we left. Mission accomplished!

We have 2 Plymouth Rocks, 1 Rhode Island Red and 2 browns. A third Plymouth Rock didn't make it out of the basement (alive). I hereby deem this coop Cluckingham Palace!

Very nice, and cute! I'm trying to design my coop now. Are you typically a wood crafting person?

Not really. I mean I am handy but this is by far the biggest project I have ever tackled.
