Its been 2 years since I have had my birds home with me. When I lived at my old place I was told I was 1/2 a mile inside the township limits and had to get rid of my birds after having them for over 6 years. So we built (well got it half built anyhow) a coop at my moms place that was exactly 1 mile from my old house. WE barely got enough done on the coop just to make it functional. We didnt get it painted just the primed t11 was put on the outside and the trim was never put on ect ect...but we MOVED and got this beautiful new home last fall where I made sure before we even placed a bid on the house that we could have chickens here. So we tried to get the coop moved last fall but the winter came so fast we never got the chance. We have been driving 9 miles 1 way and 9 miles back every day to take care of the birds. Its been so hard. So it finally got nice enough and it came home on Friday! Finally after 2 years! We worked on it all weekend and its finally finished!
We got it all painted and all the trim put on and painted. We got the runs on and now we just need to get the ramps back up so the birds can come out and the human enterance door on the runs and we will be all set to go! Heres how it looks so far:
My coop is 8x16. I built it 2 years ago and just move it to my new house and finished it yesterday. We originally built it in pieces and then assembeled it on the site. We built it with 2 8x8 floors and walls ect... and then joined them together before the walls and floor went on. That way we could build it in the garage and assemble it outside. Here are some pics:
HERES THE WHOLE STORY!!!!!!
and now that its moved here and finished:
Here are the pics of the inside. There is one 4x6 pen and 4 3x6 pens:
