Crowing
Great job. But a quick note about the chicken wire. It is not predator protection, at all. It's great at keeping chickens in, but most predators will be through it in just a few minutes.Well, here's my coop. It's pretty big (the building is 6.5 x 8 and the run(s) are 12 x 15 and 8 x 5.5). We bought some supplies (the roof and some supports), but the doors and wood for the walls and nesting boxes were recycled. I actually picked up three truckloads of wood from a neighbor down the road who was taking down their fence. I'm building another that's about 8 x 8 with a dresser for the housing. Don't have any pictures yet though. That'll wait a week or so - hopefully it'll be done by then.
The window (below) folds up in the winter. I just put it down last week for extra circulation.

I would have a roost, but my silkies prefer to dog pile! I gave them the option for a while and then took it out, lol.
There's the extra brooder box here, \/ in the back, made out of recycled materials (partially from building my papa's house... and a fridge rack, lol)
Lastly, I want to share a quick picture of the majority of my adult (to adult-ish) chickens eating watermelon! Aren't they cute??
