Thanks so much. DH is working on finishing it up this weekend. He put in the nest boxes and is getting the painting done. I think I could stay in there it is turning out so cute! I figure if I have to go in there and clean and spend time with the chicks, why shouldn't I enjoy my surroundings? (Which is why I have a cute laundry room too, hehe.)

It's just adorable! It reminds me of some of the refurbished train stations.

Am I correct -- that the hardware cloth appears to be sandwiched between wood around the window instead of tacked on the inside of the window?

Thanks.

 

[CoopDelisle]

Correct. It is stapled up against the window from the inside, and then the wood trim is applied over that!

Your coop is really beautiful! Like a lot of others, I love the color choices and the windows. I especially like how the chickens can look out the windows from the inside because it is their height. The chair on the front porch, the rooster weathervane, and the landscaping are cute touches too! I hope you guys make a coop page so that a lot of other people can see all the hard work you've put in to such an awesome coop!

One thought... I couldn't tell from the pictures -- is the wire behind your ramp into the yard buried in the ground? I noticed that there was no board at the bottom of the wire behind the ramp. I just wouldn't want any critters to be able to sneak in by digging under the wire and hurt your precious new chickies!

Thank you, and yep, there is hardware cloth buried all the way around the run. Tried to do it right the first time! We are going to be working on the coop tomorrow, and have decided to make a coop page when we are done. We never thought we would get so many responses from it! Makes us feel happy

That is stunning. I love everything about it but mostly the window. I really love that window!

Thanks. I won't be loving one set of those windows tomorrow when I have to scrape them and paint them. I already did the set you see in the pics; tomorrow the other set gets the treatment.

Like so many others, I LOVE your coop!! It shows that you put a lot of thought into the details and design. You should be very proud!

The photo of the front with the porch and the chair needs just one thing...a pitcher of lemonade and 2 glasses!

Then you could submit it for a cover photo of one of the poultry magazines!!!!

Nice work!!!
