I'm so dang proud of myself... my very first shop project ever! took about 5 hours working with heavy panels, recycled materials and sharp machinery but i am so very proud! cost $20 to make and the silkies love it 
I've never built anything before, so yes it's a bit crooked and looks funny but you know what? I had a great time building it, I learned alot and am a bit less scared of power tools now! Looking forward to building another one
So, the "condo" is 4' long, 2' wide and 2' tall. Ventilated on both sides, re-inforced with 1/4" hardware cloth (that stuff is a nightmare to cut). Big door for more ventilation and ease of access for cleaning, large ledge to keep the bedding inside. Not too heavy so can be transported.
It's on the garage floor right now because DH isn't here this week and I can't lift it by myself to add legs or anything. That'll be next week.
I also need to add a roost, it has a nesting box and everything else.
