my first time building a coop

[Mikedero]

Well let me tell you I had no clue how hard this was going to be. I started off following a fellow members build and I ended up going a different route. it is 4 feet by 6 feet raised platform 20" off the ground. I have 4 nesting boxes and 2 roosts one 5 feet long and the other 4 feet long. I will be adding a few things later on. I still have to paint as well the red on one side is the color it will be with white trim. Let me know what you thing for a first timer and a Non-handy man. I for got to add the side with out the nesting box is getting a window that is 20
' long and 10" high

But here are some pics I have some areas to fix. Also please ignore the front door that is temp and it is screened in with 1/4" mesh.

Looks really good. I suggest you put in more ventilation though. You also should cover the open areas you have under the eves with hardware cloth.

It looks good so far, some wire mesh and paint and then add chickens.

Looking great. I fully appreciate the "how hard" part.

it is covered with hardware cloth all open areas. as far as vents each side including the back is open on the sides it is 9" that tapers to nothing on both sides and the front is 6" the back is 4" just hard to see the way the roof sits
