Wow, I went and looked all your coop page and it is amazing! I love how roomy it is, the rope lighting and the watering/feeding system and the wireless camera idea, amazing and quite the place for some lucky girls. Great work

Very neat! How do you clean, and what is the maintenance chore like? I likes it!

Thanks for the compliment. The long sides (white section) just lifts off to expose the entire roost area. I put down linoleum and pine shavings on top of that. I just scoop out the shavings, wipe out the linoleum and put more pine in and good to go.

Thanks everyone. It was a fun project. However, my chicken math is a little different since I am pretty much maxed out with 9 chickens. I PLANNED on spending about $250.00 tops to build this. Suffice it to say, I went OVER that amount and then some.

I plan on adding a fake cupola with a vane on top. Thinking of other things as well. Any suggestions??????

Just amazing and thanks for sharing.

Nice job Dan! I definitely won't be showing the photos to my flock as they will hassle me endlessly til they get a remote camera of their own!
