Thank you

It is solely from my imagination no instructions here lol
The wood is 2"x4" and 2"x6". I did rip some of the 2"x4" and 2"x6" ti make 2"x2" & 2"x3"s.
I will be useing 5/8" plywood for the coop walls and will be useing shingles.
I just got done painting the outside frame and what will be any exsposed wood with two coats of brown simigloss paint. The coop will be white with some brown trim to pull it together.

Ill post pics again soon

It looks great! Some of the wood didn't look like 2x4s so that's why I was asking. We used baluster to put together a run and it worked pretty well. Would love to build my own coops some day when I have more land.

She is in with her sister is that ok. Where do I get the stuff to treat it. Is it contagious. She is hatching chicks soon

 

[Fancychooklady]

It is contagious . Really just a form of ringworm. Treatment is , quarantine and apply either formalin in Vaseline,miconazole or athletes foot spray- lotrimin or tinactin daily. If you have an athletes foot product in the bathroom cabinet already just read the label and make sure it contains miconazole . Get yourself some cheap disposable gloves for handling.
