My New Bamtam Coop

[Hawkeye95]

GREAT progress!!! I was looking at this yesterday. I love the little half circle window! Is that just going to be a vent, or a window?? Either way, cute! The whole thing looks pretty darned sturdy to me!

I think you'll rest easy knowing the girls are safe in there.

This is a sunburst half-moon window. Like this one:

Venting so far comes in at the eaves tracks up the ceiling inside and out a ridge vent in the roof. I'll see how that goes.

Got the roof and weather and ice shield on tonight.

A few updates:

Run and ramp roof is on... I was able to repurpose an old door window I was saving as a skylight in the run.

The triangle shaped OSB pieces will be replaced with hardware cloth like the rest of the run.

The side with the skylight and the window face east so on the roost they will get the morning sun as it comes up.

built the switchback ramps today to avoid a steep ramp... Put the food and water half way up to convince them to use the ramps...
