Wow, that is amazingly cute! You'll have some happy chickens, I'm sure

That's a beautiful little coop - well done!

We are using the same red and white color scheme on the exterior of ours

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone. It's unexpected but greatly appreciated.

Maybe on my next one I'll do a tutorial. The hardest part of the design was laying out the side panels and I've already posted the dimensions for them. Some tools that made my life easier was my air nailer/stapler and router. One thing that worked great was framing all the openings onto the sheets of T1-11 and then coming back and routering out the panels, ie. doors & windows. A tutorial on this may be beneficial.

Our local Menards store sells a paint called "Barn Red" and "Barn White", I'm unsure of the manufacturer but it was only $17/gallon as compared to the Dutch Boy Max Coverage which was $30/gal. Next time I'm using the cheaper stuff!

I thought about that after it was assembled. What I need to get is a good low pressure painter sprayer. I HATE PAINTING
