Started on my Coop today that is going to be on a 6' x 10' trailer

Finally, completed my coop. Attached awnings (sealed with Thompson Water Seal), changed roosting bars, parked under oak for shade where previous coop was. Being on a trailer, provides shade as breeze can blow through while giving them an area for dirt baths. Cut the 2x4 holding main roosting bar up to make cleaning every morning easier. Tarp that's attached by grommet holes and is removable there for keeping any rain out. Awnings are on hinges and can be shut if needed.

Coop update, completed some work done on my coop today before chicks arrive. Changed my old wood awnings that were moldy with sheet metal ones on pressure treated frames I built with some help from a good friend and attached the metal. They have prop sticks that can rotate to keep them at a location for ventilation and have the ability to close if needed.
