My First Coop- A new beginning

[Hack2Override]

Yes, Im sure you can tell the front wall with the chick door. I am going to have a 12' x 12' run on that sides, enclosed poulty netting. I will be the same height of the coop (7ft and have a man door for access). I plan to have my waterer and feed under the coop since the coop is 2' off ground.

My girlfriend would probably sit and say thats men work. She loves that phrase when its anything she doesn't wanna do. If i gave my 2 yr old a paintbrush my chickens probably would get painted. Maybe i'll throw a springtime bbq and whoever comes over can paint while i cook on the grill.

This is my progress so far.. It finally coming along and chicks should be outside here soon.. I am sad to day that I did loose on of my RIR chicks. I think the others piled on top of him to sleep. A lesson learned in my first time with chickens.

Since having the coop done and chickens are about 5 1/2 months now I did lose one of my leghorns, due to it getting pecked on pretty bad and my son's hamster took a dirt nap as well. Other then that they are all doing well.
