With 20 plus new chicks needing out of the house my good wife said it was time to build a new coop and run,
so here is what I built.

I started with a 4x4 frame 2x4 sheeted with 3/4 OSB



I then cut 4x4 corner posts and 2x2 backing boards screwed to the 4x4 posts



next I built the nesting boxes which fit in framing that I put on the side of the coop



then it was just a matter of filling in all of the sides with log siding, added a roof with cedar shingles and built the run.



So here it is the finished chicken cabin.



with the open nest box

I will be adding a new gate to the run but ran out of time on the weekend.
 
Wow! What a great coop!!! You did GOOD! With that said, I noticed that you said "20+ chicks" .... uh....I don't think that coop or run will comfortably accommodate that many hens. I could be wrong but don't think so...eek!
 
Looks like this is a new home for some of his chickens bc the others were getting crowded. Nicely done love the nest boxes!
 
this is for my Breeders 4 hens and a roo.
a-HA!!
