I would like to first say that I have NEVER built anything in my life. There may have been blood. Lots of cursing and I may only be half way done and already thinking of expanding.
I looked at 10000's of photos. I wanted to save as much money as possible. And winged it ALL!
To date I am at $150 (hardware cloth and roofing were the main budget buster)
She stands 4x4 with a slopped roof 5' to about 4'.
vinyl roofing (it isn't attached yet)
Dutch doors
When she is finished she will have a loft at the tallest part
3 roosting areas
2 exterior nesting boxes
Hopefully an easily removable poop tray.
Left side with huge window. Hoping to add removable plexiglass for nicer weather days. Right now there is hardware cloth for protection. The first and lowest roost will go there (had to remove because the girls wouldn't leave me alone)
So far that is all. 4 weeks and I am way behind schedule. Go figure
.
Now of course I feel like my girls will all fight and I should go ahead and start a new one just in case.
