The coop building has been at kind of a stand still for a while lol but this is what we have so far. Hopefully we can resume work soon, all we have is the rest of the clapboard, maybe another vent, roost bars, and hardware cloth under the eaves.

Don't you just love the wheels?! I absolutely loved your Amish Barn Coop when I first saw it but I wanted it already built when shipped. However, our yard access was too narrow to accommodate the measurements of a finished delivery and we didn't want to build the Amish kit from scratch. So we went with the following Barn Coop which was a lot easier to assemble for us. It comes with 2 slide-out floors -- one solid tray and one wire tray. Having heavy duty wheels made it easy for us to roll the coop all around the yard during house and yard remodeling until finally putting it in it's resting place under a patio roof. The kennel wire run detaches so we can roll the coop away from the house if we need to paint the house or do repairs. Rolling coops may not be for everyone but it certainly solved mobility problems for us in a very small backyard:













During heavy rain we covered the coop with a tarp before the patio roofs were built

Noticed you modified the incline of your chicken ladder. Ours was too steep for the bantams and even the large fowl didn't feel secure on it, so we raised it with several cinder blacks and paver stones to make steps up to the start of the ladder. The manufacturer of our coop chinsed out on ladder materials and the cleats/steps are too far apart too.

Some of these coops are really beautiful!!! I wish I had more space.
But we finished our coop (minus the finishing deco touches)

Cute coop house! Your ladder looks steep like ours was. We had to raise the ladder incline with cinder blocks at the bottom and had to add more steps/cleats closer together on the ladder because we have bantams that had a hard time going up and down the wide cleats/steps on the ladder. Beautiful dog.

That looks great! If your chickens get some free range time, then the coop is mainly for egg laying and to keep them safe at night. Even your dog looks proud, is he OK around the chickens?

She loves the chickens! We call her chicken mama now. We raised them in the house and she watched them grow up so I think that helped. ( pic) She runs to the coop at night to check on them all the time. She used to refuse to go to bed before checking on the chicks lol.
There was a stray cat by the coop the other day when I came home and I opened the door and she ran right over and scared it away

Thanks! Ya, we were actually in the process of working out another ladder but their second night in the coop they put themselves to bed- and every night since. So it doesn't seem like an issue anymore. None of mine are bantams though.
