heres our coop that we've been working on. It's 8'x8' x10' high
the roof needs to be finished this week and I'll be building and installing nestboxes, a run and finish painting next week.
it'll be getting white trim and PA dutch hex symbols on each side. for those unfamiliar a hex symbol looks like

more symbols and info here http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~aferm/pennsylvania/hex.htm

ok now the pics, I think I'm doing pretty good considering I am no carpenter and doing this off the top of my head

looks nice , are you going to paint the design in the upper right corner on the coop?

 

[quadcam79]

we're going to put one design on the top middle of each wall to break up tyhe solid red. Plus I'm PA dutch so that brings some of home here to Fl.

something like this

if you look on the last pic right side middle the white box lookin thing in the background is our well pump, I'm going to build a cover to match the chicken coop
