they were a class hatch at my school, and were supposed to got back to the lady I got the eggs from. But everyone and my neighbors fell in love with them, and now it seems so natural to have them.

next summer when they are fully grown I might attempt to build a bigger house with the coveted A frame roof

Alrighty~ Got some more done this weekend!!! I don't want to come in the house and do laundry, dishes, or even cook~ I wanna stay in the garage all day and finish this coop!! LOL But I must still do all my other chores in between~ but atleast all I had to make for dinner was peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

I have pretty much primed everything. I have cut out the walls and installed the doors!! It lines up awesome~ doors swing perfectly

I will still have to remove this wall so I can prime the wood behind. I want to cover every inch of this wood, so it lasts a long time!

This shows the main doors open and I also primed the other two "A" Frames for the roof...

This is an inside view of where the window will be... completely primed. I also added a home-made gable at the top of the roofline!!!!

Close up view~ I added this so the heat can escape out of the building and it looks pretty! I Have this fine mesh screen that I will attach to the inside of the gable to prevent any flys or wasps and other insects from getting inside the coop.

You'll laugh~ this is where I got the "gable" from some sort of cup holder tray!!!

Nesting Boxes all primed!

I removed the one wall so I could prime all the plywood and I will probably leave it down so I can paint it as well then I will reinstall the screen door!

Inside view of the other gable and the inside of the nest boxes

Window Side View

So I will be cutting out the foor and priming that~ Then I will paint it and cover it with some vinyl sheet flooring I picked up on clearance. I also have some trim to put down around the vinyl which will look pretty to! So I will update you as I get more done! I'm thinking this weekend I should be able to have this put together out back!!!!

Thanks for all the compliments!!

QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHat do you think about the idea of cutting out a plug in the floor of the coop. That way if I want to remove all the sand out of the coop if it should need to be changed out I could sweep all the sand to the plug open it up and whoosh it all falls out of the coop onto the ground?? I would cut a square shape out of the plywood floor and then latch it back on, also I would have to cut a square out of the vinyl linoleum floor from the inside. I figured it would be easier to design this now verses later when everyone is living inside! LOL Let me know your thoughts, pro's and con's Pretty Please!
