The new coop is close to being finished

[Island Coppers]

I had a generous amount of lumber that would gone to waste if it wasn't used. A giant shipping crate from China, made from some local hard wood was a major contributor The color scheme seems to have accidentally matched the new Black Copper Marans flock's colors An access panel is off. It's a bit more finished now so I'll post new shots soon.

Wow, looks good. You might want to put hardware cloth behind those windows though, for safety.

Nice score!
I would get lots of ventilation in there.
That's a pretty bunch of boys you've got there! Do they all get along?

It reminds me of the Teahouse of the August Moon.

Beautiful coop...well done.
And the 4 boys have stunning copper also.
More pics of the coop and BCMs please.

Thank you all for the kind remarks. The goal will be to produce the best BCM's I can. Hatching eggs from Phoenix Raising Farm and a local line with Greenfire genetics are what I am working with. Along with reading everything relevant here, I hope to rely on all the great feedback from members here to steer this project toward that goal.

There were seven of those boys and they did get along. Two Larger and older roosters may have kept them in line.

Are you thinking something might fly in or out? The larger ones are double pane and the five vertical ones are double strength glass (they were shelves in a store downtown).

A giant shipping crate from China

Did you use the material, or was it in the size and shape it is now?
What was in it?

Nice roof overhangs, will you leave the soffits open for ventilation?

What is your climate?
Good to put your general location in your profile.

Are you thinking something might fly in or out?

I would assume some of them open, again for ventilation.
Any open windows or soffits should be protected from predators.
