Looking good! Much nicer than when I was over the other day. You did an awesome job. I'm so glad the flock worked out. Instant setup. I like the all black ones, but none were in the coop when I got mine.The coop is almost done. Increase challenge level, install birds!

My buddy set me up with these 12 week old guys. 11 hens, 1 rooster. It is really obvious that there is way more space available in here.
Need cleats on that walkway, and need to put a mesh grate on the window so they don't roost there.
Earlier in the day before they figured out the waterer, I put a dish down and they all swarmed thirsty. This is in the next door stall, which will be secondary cages later. For the next few days it is the quarantine while they get used to living here.
LMAO!!!
There is nothing better for raising healthy free range chickens that fresh cow or horse manure. It is a fine poultry tonic.My neighbors just let their chickens roost in the rafters of the stable. It certainly works and is sort of old school, but messy.... you may want a mobile coop, so you can move your flock's feeding attentions around your property, instead of having it concentrated in one spot, where my may have other livestock....
Excellent job. This is exactly what we did with our barn. We didn't make outside nesting boxes but plan on doing that soon, to give the girls more room and easier egg collecting. Could you please take more pictures of your "tree" roosts? I know this seems obtuse but I know that I want to add tree branches for roosts but don't know how to mount them to flat walls, if I even mount them. Thank you. I love the barn, we were also very lucky in the condition of our barn that came with the house we purchased last year. Almost all of our coops and stalls were made out of recycled wood and insulation. We have 2 flocks, pigs, goats, and rabbits along with dogs and cats. We will be adding to our menagerie this spring. I love them chickens but the goats are a close second. Pictures please and again beautiful job.
