Sweet fortress!Whats the deal with the top of it?i see the larger post so assume your going with some netting of some sort?Coons love to climb!

What a fantastic coop. great job. You will have some happy chickens!

No - it wasn't cheap! I'm figuring around $600-$700. That is mostly because we didn't know we were going to be building a coop or I would have been scrounging for months to find the material. It all happened so unexpectedly that we had no choice but to get it done to get the 12 week old chicks out of the box in the house.

Ctlisenced Arborist: You have good eyes! The two larger 4x4s are for an overhanging roof that will extend from the hen house to them. That will give the chickens an 8x8 covered area over their pophole. We will be netting in the rest of it and are starting that this week.
