Moving day! Now with pics!

I was thinking the SAME thing. Good call. I always secure mine with two different methods, in case the first one fails. Better safe than sorry.

Yeah, that is just a temporary thing. I know that those hardware store lights will fall down if you look at them sideways, but I cleared out the shavings underneath and filled in the naked spaces with more shavings. There is also some ventilation where the walls meet the roof. The holes were just a little too big for all the predators in my area, so we covered up most of them with wood, but there is still some ventilation. There is also no door in the popdoor. It is nowhere near done yet, but they couldn't live in the old coop anymore. There is no nest boxes, roosts, insulation, or blocks to put the food and water on. But, it will protect my babies until it is done.

ETA: My daddy also put in a vinyl floor this morning!

What is OSB? My dad just bought the exterior plywood form the store that was already primed or whatever. If that was what you were talking about.
 
Thanks for the link, Gallo del Cielo. It was really helpful! I'll get to work on putting in more vents tommorow. We were planning on putting in windows, but I don't think that will happen before springtime. We still need to work on doors, ramps, lighting, etc.
 
Looks great... !! We looked into purchasing a dog kennel for the run, however we didn't find one on Craigslist and my husband assured me, he could build one for less, its a great option!! Seems like you work, and work on it and then once you think you are done you have to buy all the necessities or make the necessities to keep the chickens going. We didn't realize we needed as much ventilation as you do. We live in Iowa so it gets extreme around here hot/humid to freezin/ice/snow below zero. We certainly don't need any frostbitten combs!! BYC has been a great tool in fixing up a few things on our playhouse coop!! You have a great setup!! Batteries will slow you down every time!!!
