new coop begun-two years later and we're still working on it

That is just beautiful. I think I'm going to have to check that out for my girls. It looks great. Have you painted it yet?

Very original and nice!

Thanks! I almost didn't recognize my own thread, it's bee so long! Embarrassingly enough, 9 months later it is still unpainted. That's on the list for this spring. It is nice and big and now houses 13 chickens and 7 ducks. There's still enough room for the 6 new chicks we got last week once they're big enough and feathered out more.

Glad I found this -- that it was resurrected. I bought a set of those connectors about a year ago and have done nothing with it. The design sort of scares me. But seeing your outcome inspires me. Thanks!

It's been a dream of my husband's to do something with one the kits. I'm so glad he did even if it isn't finished. The birds seem to like it too.

I'm glad I found this thread too.

I'll be ordering a kit in the next week or so. I love the unique design. I can't wait to build one.

Any chance of finished pictures? (unpainted is fine by me!)

Here's one from this past winter with the coop in the background. I'm looking for any others I have uploaded:

Nope, that's all I've got. I guess I got embarrassed that it still wasn't finished. I want to paint a sage green. I'd love barn red but in my neighborhood advertising a barn doesn't seem smart. Our neighbors tolerate the rooster and duck noises but I don't want to push it. I'd like to get some goats someday. I'd love to have a smaller version of the coop as a little goat barn. And another as a green house. Can't you just see a little village of these things in my half acre backyard??

That looks wonderful. I think it looks great!
