I've got 21 chickens in a 20x100 run and I've been housing them in 2 medium sized cages, and large 10x10 baby fence with a makeshift roof and a large dog carrier for the last couple weeks. Well having that inconvenience in housing the birds I figured I needed to get a coop done ASAP. So on the fly I built this. It still needs tin on the roof, paint and trim, but I FINALLY have 16 roosting birds in the coop and only 5 younger birds in a cage to deal with. It's got some minor imperfections that come from building on the fly, but looks pretty good. Hopefully in a few days putting themselves away in the proper place will become automatic for them.
Big Bertha and Miss Daisy are already checking it out.
