New 8 x 12 Bantam Coop *New Additions-Post 244~ 6/2*

Ankle swollen a bit, Tom's back is sore, but we went out after supper and finished that part of the roof and put siding on the back wall. Tomorrow, we'll do the front overhang and more siding.

I hope you guys feel better. It looks gorgeous. Can't wait to see the chicks moved in!

Thanks! I was hoping to have it ready to house a bunch of chicks and be a grow-out coop for awhile before it's occupied by only bantams (and probably Tiny and my Silver Phoenix, Molly, since the pen will be covered and those two are fliers). I have 86 eggs in the bators and there is no way my little 2x3 brooder will house even half that many for more than a week.

Found a new window for $20 at the flea market today!

So, we can get moving on the rest of it now.

What an awesome DH you have there!

And looks like an amazing coop! I am inspired (we are building our first one next month). I can't wait to see the finished product!

Mostly sheathed with sliding pop door that will slide and lock from inside the storage area.

And found a cute decoration at a yard sale for just $2. Will repaint the appropriate color. Already has a hanger on the back.
