Well that almost worked out I am new to this Forum Life!

I currently have a 4'x4'x5' raised off the ground 30" inches. I am putting 5 hens hopefully unless I get another surprise I am a Roo and 2 turkeys for part time The Chicks have names AKA Pets and the turkeys have names Xmas and Thanksgiving.

The run is roughly 20'x13' in a weird shape in Squared diamentions 17'10"x 15'3" with the coop inside.

The occupants will be 1 roo indo black chicken, 2 blue lace red wyandotte , 1 easter egger, 1 delaware, 1 Welsummer. Then 2 turkeys a spanish black and a broad breast.

The small pen is for the turkeys as it will be a part time and I did not think it would be enough room in the coop for 7 birds.

That’s good that you can stay in budget, I’m horrible at it. Always over budget and passed due.

Nice job on the coop and I like the names of your turkeys.

Good project rule of thumb:
Double the 'budget' and triple the timeline.
