Well, here is my first attempt at a coop. It is 4 x 4 x 4. Construction is 1/4 OSB and 2x3 lumber trimmed in 1x2 and 1x3. The external next box has a swing down back. Still need to add a pop door to the front, finish some minor trim and paint the trim to match the roof color. I also built a 4 x 4 pedestal out of 4x4 and 2x4 lumber. Now I gotta con a couple of my neighbors into helping me lift it up on the pedestal. Beer bribery still works right?

Kinda plain but I think it will suffice for 6 or 8 hens.......

Should finish it up by the weekend and move on to fencing in the pen.

Very nice.

Yes, more pics, please and of inside and when it's up on the pedistal and the chickies move in and.....

We love pics.

I think beer bribery still works. I'd work for cookies if I was there.

Good luck and looks good!

Beer still works for my neighbors:) It's nice! I admire anyone who can build something on their own and have it look so nice.......I probably could, but I don't have the patience for all that measuring and stuff
