Looks done to me...
But then again, a coop and flock are ALWAYS a works in progress. I've certainly learned this over the last year of keeping chickens.

Especially when it's a combo chicken coop and She-Shed..because you know redecorating in the latest style!!

Just ribbin' ya @chicksofclaridon
I'm not a decorator, but your coop looks highly functional as well as stylish.

Agreed! I finished up by adding hardware cloth on the inside of the roof and making a little door with hardware cloth so I can lock them up at night and be a little more confident they are as safe as possible!

Our 2 coops for now.... we are always upgrading as we use them and realize it can be improved.

here is my Texas themed tractor, "Cluck N Bock, Texas" I built it in 2015 (I think?) It has wide Texas flag doors on either side to sweep out the poopy shavings, a watering system and feeder both accessible from the outside, 3 nesting boxes with plastic trays that slide out, and wheels on a lever to move it around. We have aggressive dogs in our neighborhood that folks just leave running loose so I needed it to be safe from predators. Chicken snakes can still get in, but I've only had three snakes in the three and half years I've had my flock (in southeast Texas, that ain't too bad). Starting a new flock this week (eeeek!!!) so it'll get a little redoing. It needs to be lighter and I'm going to try and see if I can find wheels a little bigger. It's a little too heavy to move by myself. **** Note** Weird-- the attached files are not mine except the main picture and the little boy playing with chick. Not sure where the other pics came from...

HAHA thank you! I seriously think they appreciate the ambiance though!

Well, the ambiance created by a nicely sized habitat for sure...
...but they could care less about paint schemes, curtains, and other accouterments.
