Chicken Coop

Wow! The guys worked their hind ends off and got the coop pretty much finished in one week. We started with a series of pictures I found on the internet from someone else's coop http://www.backyardchickens.com/a/coop-build and they took it from there. Our coop is very similar, with only minor adjustments.

The beginning of the coop with the floor and walls framed. The total inside dimensions are 4'x8'.

 View of the inside with the nesting boxes on the side. We are looking through the people door which has a window in the middle. The other window is on the opposite side and they are situated on the north and south ends of the coop.

Jeremy putting the heavy-duty axle and tires on the back end to make it easier to move. He was so excited to hook it onto the tractor and pull it out on the road to get it into the round pen.

The dogs thought the coop was pretty cool.

Grandma and Samantha putting the chicken wire on the round pen fencing. It doesn't look too difficult, but boy, was it tiring. My fingers are still hurting a week later.

The coop is finally in place and ready to be moved into. 

 Here are the girls checking out their new digs. They really like the spacious interior and all of the yummy things to eat in the grass. They have already figured out how to go inside by themselves at night. We just go out at dusk and latch all of the hooks to keep varmints out.
