I wouldn't change one thing about my coop! Rain Barrel Pics as request

[Chicks4MyFamily]

I love love love my new coop! With all the advice and suggestions I received on BYC I think I created the perfect small backyard flock coop!
What I love...
1. The gutter on the back of the coop that runs into our rain barrel. It is perfect for watering our garden
2. Sand in my run! It couldn't be easier to clean with a cat litter scoop and there is NO smell!
3. Hardwire cloth - after all the horror stories it was worth the $ to invest in protection rather than replacing our "pets"
4. Auto feeder and waterer makes my life so much easier
5. Sleek and clean design
6. The entire side to the left of the nesting boxes is on hinges and opens for easy easy cleaning
7. A boot tray under each perch (which are positioned by each window) allows me to dump them every couple of days and keep the coop practically POO free!
8. The raised coop design allows our hens access to lots of shade and they stay cool and we hang our chick feeder and waterer underneath and everything stays dry!
9. The run is completely dry and the roof provides protection from all weather
10. Hardware cloth AND mosquito netting on windows keeps the coop practically bug free
11. The ventilation is great in the coop with the open top under the roof (covered in hardware cloth) and the windows
12. The overhang on the roof makes ALL the difference with the weather staying away from coop and run

Right now our bantam polish chicks are in a small cage in our run I can't wait till they can be free with the big girls
Thank you all for your advice, suggestion and support! I Love BYC!

I think I love your coop more than you do. What artistry! Love the sign, the weathervein, and the tilted planters beside the rain barrel. Never have I seen such an ecclectic colletion come together in total practicality and design. Kudos.

Hey, how about you plan to spend a weekend in this junkyard behind my house and see if you can be inspired to find a coop.

You like the rain barrel, I like the outhouse.

When I was a young boy me and a chicken had a run go round in an outhouse. I do like the coop too. One of the neater looking ones I've seen.

That's a great looking coop. Lots of nice features!

Like the outhouse too! They weren't so cute back in my day when you had to actually use one!!!

I really like the entire design. I like that it is a great looking, functional coop, but that you also included a lot of little add ons like the plants, wind chimes and signs. Just to quench my own curious nature how much did it all cost? If you tell me you got all the wood reclaimed or for free I have to move.
