First Time Coop Builders!

[Mkhayat18]

Hello All,

My husband and I built our very first coop for our 6 chickens and 3 ducks.
We are so excited!
Chickens are 2.5 months old and the ducks are 3 weeks old. they get along GREAT!!

They are actually loquats!

Boy I bet those chickens love eating those loquats! They always remind me of being a little kid and stealing fruit off my neighbors' trees. Lovely flock and coop you have.

Looks great. Is there more ventilation in the coop part (since we can't see side/back)? I know it can get pretty toasty in So Cal!

Might think about more anti-dig apron...looks like you have one near the door?
Good examples of anti-dig apron installation:
