You are doing an awesome job! How many chickens will you be "able" to have in your coop? We are building our coop right now as well and the project has exploded on us too. Build once and have what you want, right? That is how we are looking at it anyway.

It is lookin really good. Maybe you should enter it in the coop contest, next time there is one: Make us a step by step documentary (with demesions!) post it in the large coop section.

Thanks everyone. The weather has temporarily halted construction. Hopefully we'll get more done later this week.

Quote:
The original design was for a total of 12 chickens but once we got into it and started reading up on chickens we decided we wanted to build big enough to double our flock if we so desired so it's built to hold 20 birds comfortably but could be stretched to hold 24.

Was able to get some work done on the chicken coop today. Here's the backside. I ran out of salvaged barn siding so I had to finish it up with T1-11. It looks a little hodge-podge now but I'm hoping it will look better once it's all stained.

Here's a shot of the inside:

Here's one with the nest box access doors open:

Lovely!

You did a really great job.
Gotta love a man who puts his heart and soul into animal houses!

That is one seriously nice coop you have there! Or more factually, chicken real estate. When your current renters leave you can bring more in!
