Thanks all, I am going to be keeping 4 BR hens. they are in a brooder in the garage right now. In all it took me one full weekend and several hours a day the following week after to complete the coop. The most time consuming components are the wire cutting, and the trim painting. Cutting the roof panels is not fun either. The red paint I choose turned out brighter then I expected (paint is apple orchard red) looks more like fire engine red to me. Oh well I guess I have a sporty coop instead of a quaint one. Maybe it will fade with time.
