New metal coop.

[mpgo4th]

I started a new coop today. I had a bunch of old street sign posts and decided to build a metal framed coop. It's 6x4 with a 2 inch drop on the roof. I'm going to cover it with plywood and a corrugated roof. I'm adding three windows, two nesting boxes and a walk-in door for cleaning.

I'm going to level it on blocks off the ground and install a wood floor. Along with the three windows I'm thinking the corrugated roof will give it good ventilation. Any thoughts?

The goal is to make an easy to clean coop that can hold another few chicks. I'd like to get some buff Orpington pullets.
