Looks great so far, the birds should love it for summer. Only concern is for predators, if not common in your area you should be good, if you do have many around then enclosure with at least hardware cloth should remain a priority when resources allow.The coop is done!!!!! We were really running out of time and money so we made sort of a summer coop. we are going to work on enclosing it before winter. Also, we don't need nesting boxes until this fall. We put a small shelter inside the coop with a tin roof for when we have thunder storms or hot sun. I think the small shelter will be perfect when we get more chicks in the future, we can partition it off and use it as a brooder within the coop. It is 8x12 and we have 11 chickens in it. We will be culling all but 1 rooster as soon as we figure out who all are roosters. The floor is a platform of sorts made out of pallets, some lumber and thin plywood. we painted it with a waterproof paint to help keep the floor from rotting. We used bird netting over the roof joists until we can put in a roof and fencing along all the walls except 1. right now it has a window which is an old skylight. We have a second one to put in this fall when we enclose it.
Thank you!
