My The Porch Chicken Coop 10 Hens In Dekalb County

[nappybutbald]

Phew !!!

Coop building is exhausting !!! My poor body is sore and aching.... any way this is what i accomplished today not much but some progress.

Doors are up!!


Yup working fine.......

East Side Double Doors for easy clean up working fine.....


Decided 4 nesting boxes was a over kill so settling on 3 for 10 hens.... will update as i complete each section.

looking great sir! are you Dekalb county GA? just curious

I worked on my coop today as well. Also, I had a load of driveway gravel delivered. The driver was a newbie, and instead of him chaining the tail gate of the dump truck so it would open a few inches and him pull out and spread it, I wound up spending a few hours on my tractor spreading and smoothing it out. Then went back to work on the coop, yeah, I totally agree with and understand that 'my body is sore' part of that post!!! LOL

keep us posted!

Nice use of space. Try Black Jack 57 for your floor sealant. Pretty impressive stuff, and a lot of good reviews on here. You get it from Lowe's.

Cant wait to trim it all out and add color might just paint it with Deck Rescue the same color as the deck when i do it next month.... camouflage LOL.

I found it near the shingles. You have to stir for about 15 minutes to get it mixed...

Yeah I have 6 hens all laying and they always all lay in one box. They don't even go in the other three at all
