My dad is awesome. He came up with this coop design based on a picture, and did all the measurements himself. It's almost done - just needs trim, another coat of paint, and some hardware fencing around it. I hope to move the chicks in by the end of the week! They are too rowdy for their box, and are much happier eating our creeping charlie outside.

Three nest boxes. They will probably all lay in just one of them,
but handy if we get more chickens! |

The coop is bigger than we need, because as the chickens age, we will get new chicks and there will be some overlap in coop living. This one could probably hold 5-6 or even more birds. I love it!
