From shed to coop- it's finally done! *pictures!*

Kansaseq, could you caulk or Marine Goop all the nail holes on the tin?

Itsazoo, it looks good and I like how you were able to make the coop match the barn with the blue paint. My concern is that the wire over the windows is big enough that a raccoon or similar-sized animal could get its arm through the opening. Do you have any hardware cloth with a small (like 1/2" or 1/4") opening?

I too am having sticker shock over trying to get all the materials together to build a coop. Who knew it would be so difficult to build on a budget?

There is glass in the windows (old plate type glass- really easily breakable). The wire is just there to keep the chickens from flying into it and breaking it. Thanks for the concern & the suggestion!
