Got a new coop!!! So happy, the girls are still iffy about it and we have a few skeptical girls at night who aren't sure how to get back in! We got a resin shed off craigslist for free and added vents around the top, it had two installed in back already and a door on the side for them to go to the run, soon we will add a whirlybird and a window but so far its soooo much better, we went from a 4x5 that was only 4ft tall and not predator proof merely resistant, to an 8x6! The total cost was $29 and that was to build the floor. I will be adding sand as my litter but for now it's shavings.
I did generic wood nesting boxes with the slanted top and a wooden roost bolted to the floor.
I used all scrap wood from my previous coop to eliminate additional costs
