redesigned my coop space...(pic heavy)

[Erock1234]

well like i've said before I'm new at all this but I sure am having a ball learning and doing

This is what i had before:

And you know despite the looks of the coop the chickens were happy, but since then I've expanded and had to add on and tweak things a bit to accomidate the flock, and my 5 new members. Any who this is what I have now it's not finished but I'd say it's better

the floor to the new addition it 8x8 and the building is 5x8x7 and it's 2' off the ground. Here is a side pic:

A pic of the new roosting space, I'd say it's plenty for 11 chickens

they seem to like their new space under the coop as well:

My roo enjoying the space as well

And it looks as if they approve of the nesting boxes too

much better looking!

Looking pretty good

Best advice I can give you is Paint, Paint, Paint. The OSB plywood will only last acouple years without paint. I love the area under the coop, good use of space!

I guess chicken coops are never "finished." They're just like houses, always something to do, change, fix, clean, etc. Yours is looking G-O-O-D! Great job on the improvements.

Very nice job! I like the front porch. I'd be up there with a lawnchair and lemonade!

@ annie3001 Thank you very much

@ admhotel thank you I am hoping to do that this weekend or next, I have 10 gallons of random colors I'm thinking this should be interesting

@Barred Babies Thank you as well
