The chickens are around 6-7 weeks today was there first day in their new run and hen house. Its made with 2x4 floor frame and 3/4 plywood floor. It has 2x studs with t1-11 5/8 siding and is painted it in oil based paints.
I have yet to set up a convenient watering and feeding system but I have ideas.

Live feed of coop
I am still going to add 2' 6 more run space under the nesting box soon.
The run has a few nice amenities such as a convenient acces to the nesting box.
I also made a vertical sliding door with its pull string outside the run so I dont have to enter the run to close and open the door.
The whole front panel is on hinges for cleaning the chicken litter
Inside has a perch and a light for night-time its still cold and they are still young.
It has 3 locks on the door to make sure no predators get in. And I still have a little more predator proofing to do.
This is my first run and coop build so any ideas or suggestions are much appreciated. I already have some ideas of closing the nesting boxes in a little more to make them darker. And 3" pvc pipe feeding system. But the water i don't know what I will do yet.
