Very nice ! Great color choices, too!

I am always in awe of people who build their own coop.........wouldn't know where to start! It looks great!

The only problem I have had is that water runs down the roof into the nesting boxes, because I didn't leave an eve on the back ( I couldn't figure out how to leave an eve and attach the wire to the roof) So then I had to add some flashing that forces that rain water to run off the side. Amazing how many little details I didn't know about since I don't routinely build things! The reason I used the rear entry doors was so my daughter could reach in and get eggs. ( shes 16 months old and LOVES the chickens!)

now you need some funky chickens for the funky coop! by the way, you can fit more chickens in there easily

I'm only allowed one more according to the city ( 4 total) - so many breeds, which one will get the coveted spot? Do two banties count as one standard?

in chicken math, yes, two bantams = one standard
