Great coop and outside run area diydaly! You build a very nice and solid chicken house.

Only minus is you didn’t optimise the coop in dealing with chicken and you might need a bit more ventilation in summer.

Thanks for the comments BDutch! I plan to fit a slide out tray under the perches but haven’t got round it yet

Hello. Great idea to share your build this way.

I don't know where you're located, but in any warm climate I'd be concerned about the ventilation.

In my climate, the steamy southeast, I'd replace the top 6-8 inches of the siding on the tallest wall with hardware cloth and add big triangle vents to the sides as well.

Both heat and ammonia rise and need to be vented at the highest point of the coop.
