Mine will have chocolate brown patio furniture so I can sit and watch my chickens

LOL I love the turquoise, I have a glass studio behind the coop (I don't know if any of the photos show it) but it's a boring gray color and I'm thinking of painting it citrus green. My husband thinks I'm crazy, of course.

Keltara, I just looked at your page - you have the best photos!!! How cute!

I love the brown patio furniture idea. We seem to have similar taste

. I love the idea of painting the glass studio Citrus green! It would look so pretty with the coop. And then the addition of colorful flowers! I say go for it.

Thanks for the compliment on my pictures. Photography is my creative outlet.

This coop is beautiful. And the citrus green would be beautiful with it.
I started painting the furniture on my entry porch over the weekend. Chairs-turquoise, Table-yellow with red trim, Front Door - red, Flower pot - red, Chair Cushions - red, turquoise, citrus green & tan stripe. DH said it's starting to look like a Tiki Bar. But I love the bright "southwestern" colors. It makes me happy every time I step out on the porch.

Rileysgranny, that sounds wonderful too - it's nice to step into your backyard and feel like you could be on vacation....

I thought I'd share a photo of the girls using my new ramp as a roost. Silly chickens. I'll have to give them a real roost.

And here is a picture of the doors, which are still not done. But, we have a plan.

oh, and here's a silly one, that's Pippi and my kiddo:

I LOVE your ramp idea! I think it's awesome, but wonder if the chickens will make a mess of it sitting there all the time even if you do add roosts. I'll be stalkin' your blog/thread to keep tabs.

We haven't made it to the ramp part yet.

Great job on a beautiful coop!!

Wow, I really like the way you did your door's/windows on the end of the coop. I need to show this to DH. It would be a great modification for our bantam coop! Thanks for the idea!

Nice coop. I feel your pain with the weather, I'm down in south King County. I'm still waiting for a dry weekend to put the shingles on the roof.

I love the outside egg box.

It's covered in poop! What a mess. I need to get a roost up ASAP. One higher than the top platform, I guess. I'm going to have to repaint the ramp in something high gloss so I can clean it!

one thing I think I did right about the ramp/platforms - is I did not push the platforms right up to the wire walls, I didn't want the poop rolling down the ramp and flying through the wall and onto my walkway. Seems to be working at least.

Looking good Pam and your girls are growing fast! Love the ramp and landings idea! Just wanted to say hello!
