Urban Coop Update

[pasta514]

Not a lot of progress on the coop this week. Made the mistake of consulting my brother. He is a genius designer and redesigned the whole roof/lid mechanism for me. In the meantime I wired the bottom of the coop and worked on a section of fence to enclose the yard so the girls can free range.

Here's my previous post.

Here are some current pics:

Don't you hate it when know-it-all brothers butt in?

At least you got fencing up for the girls! Maybe you can find another project for your brother....unless you weren't being sarcastic when you call him a genius designer!

If he is, then tell him to hurry up and get the coop finished!!

He's designing it. I'm building. You can watch the ingenious design in action here:

he did make it sound a whole lot easier than it was.

My husband has a brother like that! Have you thought about using smaller gauge wire like 1/2" x 1/2" to keep out weasels and snakes?
