Our newly vamped coop & enclosure

[NorthernMama]

My fantastic hubby has completed (to the extent needed to move the girls in at least) my new super cute coop & enclosure for my flock.

The enclosure is a 14x14 and the cottage coop is 8x4 inside w/ nesting boxes.(8x6 with the porch)

Still needed is the front door & window + to have a pot light run for a heat lamp for winter use (as we can drop to -40c here). He's said he's going to make the lid for the pot light look like a little chimney to keep with my cutesy style.

coop is 18 inches off the ground so that they can hide underneath for shade during the hot of the day.

I love the outside fence, that's exactly how I did mine when I first built it because I liked how it looked and I figured they'd be a little safer if the predators couldn't easily see them. a couple years later and I have had only one attack inside the coop(i didn't close it for the night). The chickens do like to dig around the bottom of the fence & I used to have 2x4's wedged around the bottom but I can easily rake the dirt back up to it so there's no holes.

PS. I love how the house looks like a little saloon!
