Wow, this is gorgeous! My chickens will be envious if I show them these pics. I realize I am late to the 'Coop' party, but I'm a newbie here. I am ssooo impressed with this. My coops are very functional, but they are such a distant 3rd to this!!!So after months of reasearch, and months of labor and more $ than I am willing to admit to I have finished, well at least the building itself is done interior yet to be done, my coop. I bring to you "Peeps Place"

set up scaffolding and started staining and painting....

All painted, windows installed ( two more, side and back)
Looks good on the outside! Predator proof, all openings 1/2 inch hardware cloth. Dirt floor , 1ft concrete footings to deter diggers, I missed getting pics of the roof and skylights, but it has a roof!
I will update with interior pics as I finish up, for now I need to clean out the wood inside and get ready for my peeps in 10ish days!
I am so grateful to this community , I would have made a mess of this without you guys
