Mother in-law suite finished

[dirtybug]

Most of the coop was made with free wood (old billboard) I think total I spent around $150 including 100' of hardware cloth. the building is 4'x8' but one end has a 2'x2' storage closet so the coop is 4'x6'. The run is 8'x14' and is totally enclosed with 2"x4" wire including the roof.
I plan to keep four layers in here. Hopefully I'll be picking them up this week!

Its been a number of years since I last had chickens and I've proably had two dozen designs in my head and on paper in that time, This was a little bit of all those designs but mostly just the most efficient way to use the materials I had on hand.
even though most of the material was free I cringed everytime I had to go buy a hinge or slide bolt lock, WOW that stuff is expensive for what it is.
