My first attempt at building anything like this

Click the 'My BYC page' link and let me know what you think..

It is still under construction and I hope to get the framework painted and hardware cloth started by the weekend..






I had no real plan.. just working at it as I go along, but I was somewhat inspired by this one:

Pretty impressive for a first attempt!!

thats awesome, especially for a first attempt! I've helped put up southern coops and livestock shelters since i was 12, but I sure can't cut straight worth a darn, and being left handed seems to have something to do with this I am convinced I'm like confused everything is uneven either in cut or in sitting that I mainly attempt on my own.

lol but anyway your coop is looking awesome, much nicer than my little silkie "Fuzzbucket express" its a wood coop with PVC run its supposed to be a tractor eventually when I get some wheels to throw on it. until then its a mini coop

That looks fantastic! I never would have guessed that you were a n aewbie to coop building. Similar concept to mine, but better execution!

Nice looking -- very smart to use the side of the barn -- not only for durability, but for shade -=- your chicks will thank you.

Don't forget ventilation.

I've added a few more days progress to my BYC page..

slowly but surely, things are getting done.

 

[ScaredOfShadows]

Its coming along nicely! Man I need you to come build me one as pretty as that!

 

[Jaguaress]

That's really great!

Don't forget to either bury the hardware cloth, or make an apron around the outside to deter predators.

You've given me inspiration.

Very Nice indeed! You have room to pull those pastic bins in and out to clean them?

When you are finished come make me one!
