Started the new coop and run, not completed.

Started my new project Sunday, I have a new respect for all of the Super Coops I have researched on the site. The run will be 4x8ft (plus 4x4 underneath coop) and the coop will be an additional 4x4ft. I built them seperatley so I could move them around in the future. This is my first attempt and feel ok about what I have produce so far. Also would this accomadate 5 chickens? It currently only will have 3 buffs.

is this, perchance, designed to fit over you gardens? looks great and I like your separation idea.

I was not planning on incorporating the gardens into the coop, and my carpentry skills probably would not allow me at this point

what size nest boxes would be recommended, and better off with two larger boxes or 3 fair sized? Thanks for the kind comments, just got the roof finished.

Nice job. Orps are big girls....I would not go above 4 girls in there and I would put two large nest boxes...Orps need no smaller than a 12" x 12" usually...some of my orps required a 14" wide nest LOL Also, make sure your roost is a 2 x 4 turned with the 4" side up...they have big feet. Good luck and excellent work thus far.
