I'll be going in and getting eggs I'll also be adding sand to the run eventually I like the paver stone idea I'll have to do that it rarely gets down to freezing here or over 99 degrees there are vents and I may add a heat lamp for winter

As others have said, chickens in almost ALL areas need no heat in the winter. Mine see 0F a bunch in the winter. And -5F and -10F and -15F. Just keep them out of the wind. A few winters ago I had to have a heat lamp over their water (long story). Even the BA that moulted at the END of January, the COLDEST time of the year, did not go near it other than to drink. She only had about half her feathers. If they have a choice and don't hang near the heat when it is -15F, I am pretty confident they do not WANT heat. They fluff up just fine.

Nice build!

It's not a duplex.....let's call it a chickenplex. Lol I did an extreme makeover this weekend by adding the new addition.

I now have all the boards installed the bats will come later I need to get this hen house ready for the girls they have out grown their temp shelter. I should have it ready for them in the next week they are now around 14 weeks old. I let them free range all day but their temp dog house enclosure is getting small for the 18 of them 2 roosters and 16 hens. Here is a shot showing the siding installed (it still needs trim and bat boards installed). I will add a picture google drive is not synced to my phone.

I am going to start the inside tomorrow evening I just bought 7 sheets of reject siding for $10 a sheet to line the inside and I am going to pick up some linoleum for the floor some latex paint and they will have a hen house. Man this has taken much longer than I planned. I will go back after the hen house and run is complete and do the finish work on the outside.

$50 for all that 1/2 hardware cloth? Were you looking over your shoulder as you drove off after "stealing" it? 
That is fantastic. Wish they did that around here. I think that much would cost at least a couple of hundred dollars.

Lol it felt as if I should have it was a steal it was 50$ per 50 ft roll and I got 2. Good to know about heat the coop is good against wind I'm mostly working on predator proof.
