Just a few finishing touches needed. Had to get the birds from the neighbor by this last weekend so not quite ready .Not bad for a total of $600.00 and built from scratch with no experience in building

This is my first coop at the inlaws built from some reclaimed tongue and groove.

Nice size!
BTW what does tongue and groove mean? I could probably Search on the internet or wait 1/2 an hour for a warehouse guy to flag down but since you used the term I'll ask you directly LOL

That's a nifty ramp/pop-door all-in-one idea. Where'd you get the inspiration to do it that way?

It is a kind of wood board that fits together. The "tongue" is on one side and the "grove" on the other so the fit together seamlessly.

The drop down ramp / trap door just seemed a better and more secure type door. Sometimes just looking at other pictures of coops can make you think of easier and better ways to do some things. The mind is a wonderful thing...

Nice coop, nice pen. Hope you plan to let 8 hens free-range as they will get bored when full-grown.

Well I got them full grown and have been getting 5-7 eggs daily (5 days) but will only let them out an hour before sunset. Houston city does not allow free range (no roosters also). Next week will be interesting as I hope they remember where home is.
