It ain't t pretty, but it's done. And cheapish.

Now if I can get them to use the nesting boxes and the roost in the coop instead of the floor.

My chickens never slept on a roost but the first night they went in the coop as soon as it started to get dark they went right up the ramp and on he roost

Oh! Please try to replace the chicken wire on your coop. A dog or raccoon can push through it. It keeps chickens in but keeps nothing out. Look for welded wire fence, it lasts longer and holds up to dogs etc. Chicken wire will rust and fall apart in about a year.

We will look at that. We have extra to make repairs if needed. Thanks for the tip!

Some of ya'lls coops are nicer than my house. I literally scrapped together all the wood I had on hand from old projects and used old screens from my parents' old house because the chicken wire didn't want to cooperate with me. Needless to say, my coop is like the trailer park of chicken coops, but at least it's roomy and they're ok with it.

Hello and welcome! Don't worry how your coop looks, we all do what we can starting out. Just keep plugging away, you can do anything once you put your mind to it. (My coops are odd but I had ti match my home to get them built. So I worked many 12 hours days to get them.) Just keep that in mind and welcome again to chickens! They are addictive!

Nicely done! Wish mine would like a swing instead of getting scared by it.

They have yet to get on the swing,if we put them on it, they just jump off. I'm gonna give them time, but we may end up taking it down.
