Well we got lots done today; it's so close to a usable coop!

I want to grow my own chickens from scratch this year but for the life of me I can't find planting depth

I have not posted in awhile but I am excited just had my new "coop" delivered. My last hatch put me over maximum chickens so instead of reducing my flock I enlarged my coop. I have found sheds to be the easiest to make into a coop. My existing 8 by 6 shed will now be a brooder. My new bigger shed will be the coop. Now to install hardware cloth, pop door, roosts and nesting boxes.

I love it! I want a new shed... What did it cost if you don't mind me asking? Also, what are the dimensions? 10x12? That door looks huge!

My DH said it will be years before he has to by me a gift at the holidays lol. He likes the chickens as much as I do though. I wish we were better carpenters but we gave up after our first coop build and went to a shed.

I spent more than I wanted to. It was a little less than $3000.00. But we had them put in windows. To fit where I want it it can only be 8 feet wide so it is an 8 by 12.
