I have been removing the plywood exterior because it is in pretty bad shape. That's why I am putting the cypress wood on the outside.

I'll check out Patandchickens' page. Thanks

My friend made a chicken coop out of an old play house and it turned out great! I think this will to

Today I tackled the Nesting Box for the coop.

There is no way I could have come up with these angles without using AutoCAD. I am very happy with how it turned out

I still need to put the dividers in. I will have 6 nesting boxes when this is all complete.

I still have to finish the East side and do some minor work on the North, South and West sides. I have yet to do anything to the inside.

Beautiful job. Looks nothing like you started with. I love it.

Your coop is great,

I am building a new coop and if you don't mind, I'd like to use your nest box design. I want the door on the front instead of opening the lid.

Thanks for posting your great work with lots of pics and good luck on finishing.

Feel free to use whatever you want...I borrowed most of my ideas from pictures here on BYC. I didn't want to top to open because I felt like there would be more potential for weather to get in if I did. Good Luck!
