So much progress over 2 days

Day 1

Day 2 Sealing floor one more coat to go lol

Lots done still need to cement the edges for extra predator proofing, gate, netting on top with two beams so I can hang feeder and water, inside we need to make nesting boxes, install removable roost, paint last layer, add sand bedding, and hang water and feeder

I plan on doing a run like that too! How big is it and what did the materials cost?

The run is 12 x 18 the wire cost 180 normaly I got lucky it was 50 on super sale. The lumber and nails cost 300 because all is pressure treated
All together I've spent about 650 with cement and other items for inside

Great job on that coop cmccullough1390

I have a large one we built a couple years ago. You did fantastic with the prices you paid!

This week was making a broody coop for the little cochin with babies.
Almost done but done enough they could move in.



She is doing a good job with the chicks so far.
The coop is in a spot that is very hard to get a pic of the whole thing so here are a few while it was in the driveway.
Yes ventilation added.



I made the run lid so it could open both ways (just not at the same time).



Not nearly as grand as the large coop but nice enough for a bitty chicken with bitty babies. Just as hard to build though.

Perfect for a brood I would like a secondary one like that for hatching babies. It is quite nice and again perfect for its purpose. And thanks I'm working hard for my 24 girls and 3 boys I'm amazed what I was able to do with my money things here are expensive but I hit lucky sales
