My first coop build!

[GeoffreyH]

Hello All! I'm new here and will be a new chicken owner at the end of the month. With the quarantine, I decided it was time to get my coop going and order some chics. I ordered 10 hens from Meyer's Hatchery. They will be going in our new 8x16 coop. Construction has taken about a week of full days and a couple weekends of half days. I'm buttoning everything up now and getting all of the final trim and hardware cloth on. Still need to build my nesting box, but I figured there is no rush on that at the moment. Final pictures coming soon! Here are a few pictures of the progress.

Thank you!

I’ve updated it for future posts. I’m from Southeast Georgia. Always hot and humid here.
