lepreuchan - that's funny, Imp.

You're doing a great job. It feels like it takes forever, but when you're done you'll be sooooo glad that you did it the RIGHT way. Keep up the good work!

PS - looks heavy.

Thanks everyone! If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears.

5/23/10 - I was so wrong. I was not even close to half way done.

Still needs a roof but I had to get the chickens in.

Here's the watering system

Waiting on my chicken nipplers from Farmtek. They shipped last Monday...getting impatient.

The feeder and temporary waterer

Woodstock, Yolko Ono and Blondie through the pop door

Eggroll, Yolko and Pippi through the pop door

Pop door from the outside

Chickens happy to be out of the garage

Still in the brooder. Will be building a banty shanty for the silkies.

Lots of detail work still to do and obviously the roof still needs to go on.

Thanks for looking!

Looking good! It's really coming along. Great that it's on casters.

Thanks! I was second guessing the caster decision at first but now I'm really glad I have the option of moving it around the yard.

Looks great!

I can so relate. I'm building our 3rd coop right now. (2nd one we've built) My DH built the first one, but he's making me build this one. (I think it's his way of making sure I don't ask for another coop) He's giving me tips and helping with design and stuff I can't do by myself. (like putting the OSB up). I've got the walls up and sheeted and the ceiling joists in. Next up, the roof, which isn't going to be any fun for me as I'm terrified of heights. Did I mention this coop is 8X12? I'm so freaking tired. Then when I finish this, I have to do the run.

Very impressive coop

Are the tee's in the pvc where the nipples will go? That's the first time I've seen it done that way, but I like the way it looks!
