yes it is linoleum ... i wanted to try the deep litter method i've been reading on here about... so i figured i'd need to use that on the bottom since i was planning on letting everything sit there for long periods of time... it should help me when i go to clean it out as i can get the floor wet without many issues after... that board in front of the door comes out as well so i can just sweep or spray everything right out the front door when im ready....

first night went well... they all made it through and were pretty quiet when i went out there to check on them...

WOW!!!! What more could a chicken ask for??? Great job.

oh and besides telling the guys that built it how i wanted it done.. i cant take any credit for the construction... im not a very handy handyman... so i did pay to have it done... and all of the ideas about the coop and run came from this website... i cant say enough good things about this site and all the information one can get from it...

What is the blue material you used to keep water from getting into the nest boxes?

Hey Scott it turned out great! Sorry I missed you at chicken stock, but send your builders over my way I want a second hen house, a third and fourth even. I love it!

WOW Scott, that is really nice, i showed you the very first coop i built

well i'm proud of you you are a smart man too, i say that becouse your pen is only 6' tall and i don't think that you are going to fit in there since you are almost 7' nice thinking ,send the kids to do the chicken chores

you did a great job

the blue material is the same as the roof... blue galvanized tin ... the hinges on the nest boxes left some room for rain to get thru... so we had them put some tin above them... it rained really hard yesterday and the boxes stayed dry... so far so good....

el w... i cant even get them to do chicken chores around here lol let alone at your place... one day i'll have some acreage of my own... and then we'll see if my 2 hands can build a chicken coop...

and tara rose... if you want the builders name and number im sure he'd be happy to work something out with you... all i did was post a listing on craigslist under "wanted" .... and they answered the ad... he lives in deltona

thanks everyone

oh and el w... i do fit in the chicken run... lol im only 6-4 lol
