Excellent coop!

That looks wonderful! How big are the nestboxes?

Beautiful tractor (and ladies!)
what kind of siding did you use? I have been looking high and low for that stuff and can't find it!

 

[SoJoChickens]

Great minds think alike. Your design is very similar to the design I have for my full-size coop! At least I know it will work now

the nest boxes ( 4 of them) are a foot wide by about 11 inches deep. The whole tractor is 9.5 feet long and 4 feet wide.

the siding was purchased at Ace. It is a masonite 3 panel lap siding. Bought in 16 feet lengths. Obviously i didnt need that length,,, so it was cut in manageable 8 foot sections.
The basic construction is 2x4's and the roofing is basic R panel metal.

Wow--great tractor! I love that the hen-house has such nice windows for their viewing pleasure!

The center window is made of plexi-glass which i painted. So far.. 1 day = 3 eggs. The flock consists of 2 Red Stars - ( Babs, and Ginger),, and one Buff O - (Mrs Tweety)
