lets see the "ugly" coops plz

[can you hear me now?]

Here is the back of it. Like the paint job?

Here is the door with plexiglass window on hinges for opening during the hotter weather.

And then a small view of the run and the front of it. Still love the paint job.

Why paint? It will look great when you put the pullets up for siding.

Thanks. Someone gave me a bunch of spraypaint bottles that were only partially filled and.they sat for some time. Then I got that and had a use for the paint. I will probably get some exterior paint on it real soon just to protect till I build my new one.

How has the plexiglass held up during cold weather? My plan is to use it, but worry it will get too brittle in extremely cold weather.

Don't know how cold it gets up there but our only breaking happened this summer from my wife and our seven year old boy. Hardest part was drilling without breaking. During the winter there shouldnt be a need to open it so it should hold up jist fine i would think.

Here is a pick of our temp make-shift brooder that we skirted around our yet-to-be-built coop:

It is housing 24 chicks

I have 2 coops, both are ugly, here is the start of my second one (the baby coop). Whole thing cost me less than 40 bucks... and I made it 4' x 8' so I didn't have to make very many cuts! I made it mostly of leftover materials from jobsites; I'll post more as it's finished.
