So my husband was just able to get started on our coop/run. We'll have 6 ladies living out there, they are currently just shy of 2 months old right now. These are our first chickens, so we are totally learning as we go.
After much googling, I just loved all the little western theme chicken towns I saw, and one in particular that was built by a member here, so we decided to go with that style (especially since my husband refused to go with my idea of Disney's Main Street USA as a theme lol) .
The coop will look like an old western style hotel, and then the run will extend over our concrete pad to the left of it, and then another part of the run will make an "L" turn at the end to give the girls some soft ground to peck around on as well.
Once it's all done and they are moved in, we'll add a faux front next to the hotel to continue our town just for looks (I want it to look like a feed store). It'll just be a wall built in front of the existing pen, and who knows what will follow....that's what I loved about this style, we can build an entire little town one day.
So here are progress pics. Slowly getting there. I hope it's done enough to be functional within the next 2 weeks so the girls can move in. He only has Sundays to work on it, so it makes progress take a while.
