I am 'letting' the missus direct the construction. I do the cutting of wood and the screwing pieces together. She measures, and figures out how it all fits together best. Teamwork.

Thanks. I hope they do. They broke out today whilst we were busy constructing their new home. Luckily it wasn't for too long, or our sunroom would have been a real mess. We like to give them 'chicken time' each night - let them out, run around, flap and get picked up.

It would be a lot easier if everything were being covered up, like with dry-wall, but its not, so... we do our best to pick them out.

I am both a programmer and a gamer. Working on an iPhone app, which I hope to have in the store by mid-June. I am certain it will make money, it's good. I don't do anything by halves. I'll pop over to your page next. I think we are within what I expected it would end up costing, but yes, it is a growing amount. We know what we want though, and we know it isn't going to be dirt cheap, but it will be worth it.

OooOO gamers??!?! Do you guys play WOW??? LoL half my flock got their names from WOW Love the coop design can't wait to see it!!!

Would this whole "exercise" be called Chicken Boot Camp. OR the title of the next novel "Fun in the Sun, Building the Run"

just askin'

Beautiful job on the Hex o Coop. Mine is almost done, only has 3 sides. (4th was pre-existing)

Ninety five degrees out there PLUS dance recital week = no coop work today.

I did buy more wood to make frames for the roof to simplify that task and spend less time up a ladder.

WOW!! Amazing work!! I'd would've loved something like this, if I had had the money and space for it. Most of my 1 acre is pasture for the horses and I didn't want the chickens in the pasture... O, yeah, plus I'm flat broke! LOL... I'm settling for a little 3'x3' 4 sided gazebo sandbox. Since I've never worked with power tools and didn't want to buy plans I'm just winging it and hope it turns out decent at least. I'll be excited to watch this thread as you complete more steps on your beautiful project!
