Here is the 12' x 16' coop this ol' lady has been building. DH works out of town, but did get to help frame it, and 2 sons put the roof layment and tin roofing on. It has been many hours of fun, and MY THUMBS ARE VERY SORE, from hitting them with the hammer! There are lots of things I should have done differently, but .... didn't. I used hardwood on the walls, thinking it would wipe off easier (and was cheaper than all the paint I used on the floor!). Still much to do. No nests or droppings board yet. My 44 chicks are 5 weeks old now. This next week will be putting up fencing, and the run! Here are my pictures:
