Still a few more details to finish up, but birds have moved in and seem to be doing okay. Here are some pictures in various stages:

Looks fantastic!! For some reason it looks familiar???

I just wish mine could have been the same size as yours or even bigger!

What breed are your chickens? They sure look happy! Oh and I love the PVC feeder!

GREAT JOB!

I was told they are black sex-links. I don't know too much about breeds, but that is what i was told when i bought them. I like the PVC feeder as well, but it seems to be allowing a lot of waste. I'll modify it some day?

Lovely coop! It's really close to what I'd like to do, but I can't figure out how to attach the roof to the frame. It doesn't look like you notched the rafters...how did you do it?

the rafters (2x4's on end) are not notched, just laid them on the frame and used a nail gun to drive a nail on either side of each 2x4 rafter into the frame. then we put 2x2 across the 2x4's, then screwed the metal roof down with roofing screws.
