My new coop

I like it! Did you plan it yourself or is it a kit? I bought a kit and though it was expensive, it's cheap. Cheap wood, cheap everything. My husband said he is building the next one himself.

Nice!

I got the building from built rite builders. These are Amish who builds the buildings in southern Indiana. They bring the building in on a trailer completely built and painted. Came with hatch door. I built the roosts and shelving. You can order with nesting boxes but made my own. I put the panels together for the run . Covered with chicken wire over top. Also ran chicken wire along bottom. I am 66 and did this all myself

Nicely done!

Have you thought about putting in more venting? Doesn't appear to have a whole lot.

I made a screen door for the entry door. So during the day besides the window and chicken door the entry door is open

Very nice! Great job. Love the screen door.

Very nice! Great job. Love the screen door.

Thanks. I could not put a hinged screen door as it would have to open inward. So I put eye bolts in all four corners and eye bolts in door frame where they line up then the carabiners thru them secure the door and no fixes or coyotes can push in.
