Not sure why some of my pictures in the upper post are broke?

But here is the latest progress of assembling the roof.

Fast forward a few months but at the same time its a good thing I don't really have a deadline to finish the coop, as of today this is where I'm at. I want to finish the Nesting boxes before I finish painting. The nesting boxes may seem a little large but that is because I plan to have storage below them for perhaps cracked corn and supplies, maybe even a future upgrade to solar powered batteries?

Actually I may have an approaching dead line as I just hatched 3 Death Layer Chicks a little over a week ago. Here is a link to a YouTube video I posted

Pictures from this past weekend with the hardware cloth installed.

And the deep-litter box finished and lined with PVC sheet.

Adding some insulation to reduce the heat in the nesting boxes before covering it with metal roofing sheets.

Roof installed with just a little ridge cap left to install.

Here are the first residents of the new coop, they are 3 Death Layer Chicks I hatched.
