My first coop build!

Well done! You'll have some happy chickens for sure!

Little update. Finished my ramp, got the roost bars in, added two more small windows (May enlarge these soon with a way to close them off in the cooler months), and got all of my hardware cloth on.
Still need to put my predator apron on, close off the runs gable end with hardware cloth, and paint the floor of the coop with blackjack #57. Also need to build my nesting box still and put some corner trim up.

Looks good!!
I would put a concrete block under the low end of ramp,
to reduce angle and keep it off the ground to prevent rot.
You could put a huge open 'window' over the pop door,
the run roof will protect it from rain and wind.

Good idea with the block, didn’t even think of that. Thank you.

You might have to cut down the ends of your hooks tho.
...or replace them with a hinge.

Very nice! x2 on the window on the inside wall, it's a great way to air out a coop in this style of build in areas with hot or humid summers.

Nice work!

That looks fantastic. (I had to google Ludowici - don’t remember hearing that name even in my 7th grade Georgia history class. I have lived in Statesboro, Zebulon, and Athens growing up.)
