suh here's thenewcoop completed... spent entirely too much effort on it we did... we actually moved this building to a "flatter" spot, back away from the driveway...

you can see the door I put in the side tuh clean out the area under the roostin' bars...

the inside...

nest boxes on left... roostin' bars on the right... feeder in left foreground... hatch to enclosure on the back wall...

hopefully this will make it easier tuh care for them... find the eggses... and prevent predation... we're gonna clip the hens wings, and we put a flap in the back of the enclosure so the guineas (a.k.a. stoopidbirds) can fly in and out...

You did a mighty fine job on that coop my man...and with me as your trusty side kick, there is nothing we can not do!

I think that's the nicest chicken coop I've ever seen :~D

Schweet coop! I really like the way you have it sectioned off on the inside, with a nice clean storage area separate from the roosting and nesting area.

The grass where my girls' run used to be is just gorgeous...looks just like golf course grass!

That's an absolutely luxurious chicken coup! You must have the happiest chickens on the planet, although 2J's probably were happier.

Now THAT is a chicken coop!

I like the dry storage area up front - good idea.

Did you build it "from scratch", or did you start with a kit from Lowe's or HD?
