Here it is ready for paint. The coop is 3 by 6 and the run is 6 by 9. You can see OPA's roll out egg nest. I modified his 2 nest plans to a 3 nest installation. There is a full length raise up lid for access to clean everything inside. Note the raccoon proof hasps on the lid, drawer, nest box and gate.
Here's the inside showing the ramp up to the roost and the opened poop drawer (3 by 6)
Here's the view of the nest boxes, ramp and a short roost.
I will be adding a landing pad/step in front of the nest boxes that will also fold up to close up the nests.
So there it is. I still have to add the automatic door, sand and PDZ mix, automatic waterer, treadle feeder and chickens. I would appreciate all your comments and opinions.
I want to say thanks for all the ideas I have got from this BYC forum.
Thanks everyone.
