Well today was one of those rare days where it wasn't pooring down rain so me and my brother thought we'd work on the new chicken/duck house! Got it pretty much done to where they can stay in it tonight just have to fix a few things in the morning. Been working on it on and off all day(drill kept dieing) since about noon till 7:30. It's dark when we stopped. Heres a few pics I'll get the letest updated one in the morning as it was too dark

Thanks guys! I gotta wait till it stops raining to get pics(may be a while) but the ducks and chickens LOVE IT!
 
That came together nicely!

I am no builder-expert, but I used the same type of wood for mine. I was told to paint it twice, so I did. If it is out in the weather, you probably need to paint.

My local Restore has gallons of paint for $5 in lots of colors. I also found wood for perches there.

Yeah were going to paint it but have to wait for a dryer day for that. Gotta love Oregon rain lol we also already have the wood for roosts.

You might also think about keeping that wooden frame off the ground. From what I can see the lumber looks untreated so that will tend to rot fairly quick in a wet environment.
