The coop is done!

4 weeks from start to finish but it’s finally done. A little more waterproofing and we’re ready for chickens.

WOW.... Very nice! The pop up window does it have hardware cloth? Love the wood on the big door!

Love it! That door is a great focal point! I wish one of mine looked like that!

Yes, the window has hardware cloth over it. The door is just made from a pallet.

Very pretty, especially the way you did the door.

Keep in mind chicken wire is not predator safe by itself so if you have anything like raccoons or pests like mice (which can squeeze in), they can get in.

I'd also open up the boarded up vents above the coop part for ventilation within the coop itself. Is that window in the back the only other ventilation in the coop?

Congratulations!

Congrats! I read your title as "The Coop is GONE" I was thinking "oh boy, what has this world come to stealing chicken coops?"

Glad it's not gone but done! So gorgeous and I am definitely jealous now. Great work!
