New Icelandic coop/run

[User105877]

Eggs are in the incubator. Building a new enclosure just for them. Went with an 8'x8' coop with an attached 8'x16' hoop run. Still needing to put a floor in it as the local hardware store was out of 1/2" plywood. Will be building 6 nest boxes with my drops on the 1"x12"s, and putting wire over the vents along the sides. Window will go beside the door facing the west. Not putting anything else over the run until I get it stained. Lumber needs a couple weeks to dry before I stain everything. Figure with two more weeks till hatch date and a month in the brooder will give me plenty of time. Seramas are thinking they are moving in already.

Are you adding a couple of windows to the coop? You have ventilation up high which is great, but it looks dark in there.

Finally got some rain so the staining had been put on hold. Guinea have discovered it and are trying to move in as well.
