I just had to share this chicken coop

[Red Barn Farms]

No, it's not mine!

but all I can say is Wow!! I sure wish it was. Check this one out. I love the design but not sure how the dark color would work in extreme heat unless it was constantly in the shade or just add air conditioning. Ha Ha!

Really a beautiful coop. Lot's of planning and hard work there. I would have used latches, don't know that I would trust a magnet of any sort to hold the doors shut.

I wondered about those magnets to RonC. It would have to be really strong magnets. I'd think if a chicken leaned against the door it might just open right up!

Thank you for posting that!! Not only because it's super to look at, but because I now know how I can do the door to the run below my coop! Added spring to my list of "need"s!

Super to look at! Ain't it though! I loved it. Glad it helped with the spring idea. I'm thinking of building one similar myself for my bantam cochins.

Yep, that's a great coop. and the xmas decorations weren't bad either.

I wouldn't use magnets on my door either, but I did use then for my 3 windows. I have a rope and pulley system to open and close them and the magnets work pretty good there. The person who built that coop really did a nice job. He/She really took their time on it.
