Finally stopped raining to get some work done on our coop


Framing walls on the ground are much easier. Especially when things are plumb.

Adding the floor joists. You can start to see the overhang for the chickens take shape.

The floor is down and two walls framed. The right side will be the roost and left side will be storage for feed etc.

Thanks MLJ, we are getting anxious to get them moved in. Hopefully by the end of this weekend. More pics to come.
 
It is hard to get free standing poles set in concrete and plumb. Exhibit A

Getting the roost outside wall framed. The horizontal studs are for framing the poop board access holes.

Cutting a hole in a perfectly good wall. This is where the chickens will access the roost room.

Outside wall up with 3' X 3' hole for window.. It is facing east so it will get them up early and working on my eggs.

Very nice building job, remember it's hard to give them too much ventilation.

Why didn't you use the chain link panels for a run? They work great and, with a skirt and top, are nearly predator proof
