Hello All!!
Here is my chicken coop, it still isn't done and it isn't even in it's final resting place in the yard. Right now it is right off our patio, so close to the electrical plug and making things easier on those building it!
Still to do: build a door to close off the run from the coop, build a nesting box, build the chicken ladder into the coop, and screw on the doors for the coop. I also need to work on some sort of watering system with my chicken nipples that came in the mail. I'm doing lots of reading on that info page!
So here it is now, it is built enough that the girls can enjoy their days out there and I bring them in at night.
The back of the coop and hole where nesting box will go:
In the coop, yellow bucket blocking door into the coop, opening in back for nesting box. The doors are getting windows cut into them and then attaching there where the hinges are. The top of the coop is open, covered in hardware cloth, as is the top of the run.
I'm sure hoping that will be enough ventilation!
Girls in the run, they look so small in there but they're growing!
What do you think? Anything look obviously wrong? We are new to chickens and building coops! Thanks!
