The $75 Craigslist coop is coming along. If I had it to do over I would probably build from scratch as it takes up so much room in the run. I'd build longer and narrower against the shed wall. But all in all I'm happy with it, and the girls/boys love it.
After adding a window (and vents to the other side)
The run begins. Hurried to get half the roof up in case it rained over the weekend, coop leaks like a sieve lol. (there's a seam right down the center of the roof that no amount a caulk can fix. No drafts though
) Please excuse the open door, the ladder was in the way.
Still need to finish leveling the coop and add sand.
Doors and hardware cloth are next. They will still free range during the day. They love hanging out on a bench behind the shed under a big bush.
