Heres a look at my chicken shack

How many chickens do you have? I'm inspired by your creativity!!

It just keeps getting better! You still only have 14 or have you added more? They should be about 5 months old by now, I'm thinking. Have you gotten eggs yet? My EE and BR's have been producing pretty regular and they are about the same age as yours (hatched 3/28/16).
Is the new addition just going to be a new roosting/sleeping area?
How much of the materials have you had to buy so far?

I have two that started laying about 3 weeks ago .The first egg was August 31st . I have a few that will probably start laying with in the month and the rest I think they wont start till late November or who knows lol .
Yes , the new addition will be a place to sleep and nest if they want to . Though I have a few places for them to sleep they all like to stick together at night now and that makes some spots a bit tight in space so I'm fixing that problem with this new addition I hope .

And to answer your question about materials , The only materials I've bought is the plywood and the chicken wire along with the hardware nails ,screws and such .

That's not a chicken shack - that's a whole shanty town. That's amazing!

I see clean bedding and dry ground, lots of ventilation and shade. It really is the perfect chicken home.
I am also a fan of pallets as coop building material.. You can bang off a coop in a couple of hours!

I think we have this addition just about wrapped up

Do you have plans for more ventilation than just that gap at the roofline?

Here some pics of the updated Chicken shack . moved the A shaped coop back a few feet to open some space and added a couple of shutters to the new coop .

The "courtyard" looks totally different just moving the A frame back that little bit. I never noticed the skylights before now. This is going to look so cool with Christmas lights and snow on the ground.
