It's very cute. I'd be tempted to pop open the triangular shaped pieces under the roof line for additional ventilation.

What's the towel rack looking thing in the last photo for?

Looks nice and roomy. I have that exact same chicken statue in my kitchen.

I agree in re: additional ventilation. The usual suggested amount is 1 square foot per bird and it's most useful at the very top because heat and ammonia both rise.

really cool! How many chickens though because I didn't really see roosting bars? You have alot of nesting boxes! I assume you have alot of chickens? Also id secure the bottom of your coop better. Predators are going to waltz right in.

Can't wait to see it! My first coop i built was the biggest thing I had ever built before and trust me it wasn't prefect by anymeans! I actually need to make some improvements before winter hits since I need to use all my coops this winter. I went over board with chicken cuteness!

Cute. I'd recommend that you replace the chicken wire with 1/2" hardware cloth. Predators can go right through that chicken wire.

Very nice. I agree with the other posts, needs more ventilation. Good luck and have fun...

I have welded wire over my chicken wire. I also have electric wires going around my coops and pens, concrete under the gates and good heavy duty netting covering all of the pens, all due to losses from predators in the past. I am rural.
