New Coop in St. Louis

[stlfam]

Here is the layout of the coop. Ill add the final pictures as soon as It quits raining here in Mo. It should say the coop is 4'x3' but my thumbs got in the way while typing.

Here was the first attempt, after it was all done I wanted the run to be larger so I added on. as you can see from the drawing I added on alot. The windows on still on order so there not in yet, I may got to habitat for humanity and see waht they have this weekend.

Here are teh 4 hens, this was taken before we got the ducks, so I still need to take those pics as well.

As you can see there is a fair bit of straw in the run, this was so they would mat it down and the coop would get less muddy, The straw is out now and the run is not as bad in the rain thus far.

Nice start! What kind of ventilation do you have?

 

[stlfam]

Venting is windows that havent shown up yet that I ordered so Im going to habitat for humanity, There will be 3 sliding windows. 2 in the large side that you can see and 1 over the pop door. the fold down egg door is also screened so that it can create a cross breeze.

is there a door from the shed to the coop? or the coop is just attached to the shed for wall purposes? btw if i may ask, where is the egg access?

 

[stlfam]

no door from the shed to the coop. It was easier for me to use the shed as one of the walls of the coop. and the egg access is on the right side, The door folds down to a screen that folds up on the other side.
