PIctures of construction of our coop

[herbsherbsflowers]

Good friends and neighbors helped with the construction of this coop. It was a true communal effort. I'm posting the pictures we have of the whole process.

More work on coop.

And more work.

The final version.

It's all done now. It took way to long, but I'm glad we did it. They seem very happy with lots more room.

Let me know what you think.

Good job! How long did that take you guys? Looks like you owe the neighbors some eggs?

It took about 6 weeks because most folks could only work on weekends and such. It seemed like the last details were what took the most time. Painting and where to hang the feeders.

I bought the window years ago to make a focal point in my herb garden and never got around to using it or figuring out exactly what I wanted to do. It was perfect for this, so we built the coop around it.

Thanks.

I need to change my profile. We just got two buff orpington pullets to add to our flock. I think that will be enough for our pen and coop.

Great Job!

We just built our own coop over the summer. My mom and I did it all by hand.(Hand sawed all the wood, nails and hammer hehe.) It was quite the adventure

Great coop, I really like how you made the plywood look like siding, great idea.
