My first chicken coop :)

Is the clock there so they know what time to get up in the morning?

Looks wry sturdy and well built. Yes, vintalation is very important. Good job!

Thank you! I worked hard on those roosts. I trumped through the woods for an hour or so looking at old cut off branches trying to find the right ones. My dad thought I was crazy but he really likes them. He is a great guy for doing this for me but he was a little apprehensive because he wasn't sure how good my work ethic was. But I showed him how bad I wanted my chickens and he was willing to help. Since we haven't had a lot of snow here in central MN yet, my chickens have been in the yard quite a bit. I will be putting up a huge run for them in the spring when the ground isn't frozen. I will also be getting 12 more chickens so I need the space!

You could stack some bales of straw around the outside for more protection against the harsh snow and winds.

Your coop is very cute and looks very well made! Bless your dear Dad!

We decided to use floor vents! I really like them. It's nice to be able to direct the air flow.

Thank you! We used emerald green polebarn steel on the roof. Then my dad just boxed in the edges with white steel. It may look nice, but I had to be creative with the ventilation!
