New Sunny Southern California Coop

When we decided to get chickens, I had the perfect solution with a dog kennel to house them while I build a new coop. Of course, my idea of a coop consisted of a simple lean to with chicken wire and a tarred roof. Nothing major nothing minor! And then my wife gets involved: "It must be pretty and cute..." BAH!!!!!

Keep in mind I am not a contractor nor am I a carpenter. But I got 'er dunn! LOL


Started out with lumber and a shed framing kit I bought from
Northern Tools.

Wall studs!

Studs and rafters.

Nesting box framed.

Nesting box installed. I decided to buy one from our local feed
store rather than try building one.



Chicken wire and metal rook installed.



Wood panels on each side and the back.





My wife wanted it painted in the same fashion as our yard barn,



Nesting boxes.

The gals already found their nesting boxes.
