My new coop is near completion, just a few details to wrap up. This is my second coop and this time around I wanted to include some of my learnings from the first time through. I also researched many coops here where I found many great ideas, hoping I can return the favor by posting some pics.
I wanted something that I could stand up in so a full size front door went in
Clean out door that lets me sweep out the coop floor, above the clean out door is 3 nesting boxes
Also went with sand in the run, and love it. Can't see it here but I used a cutting board for the pop door and an electric motor and timer to open and close the door
Some storage space on the other side with another nesting box above the storage space
4 ft x 8 ft coop and 8 ft x 12 ft run
Window on each side for ventilation and hardware cloth to keep predators out
Nesting box and clean out door
All are welcome except Mr. Fox, Mr. Racoon and Mr. Possum
Girls really do seem to like their new digs, and you can see a little of the linoleum floor which is incredible for clean up
Have to name it don't we...
