New coop, still building...

[JBarnhart]

This is my last coop build & so I'm trying to cross my T's & dot my I's. Ive only got 16 chicks but Im trying to make it a good size & fun to look at. We're still finishing things up because of all the rain.
The chicken coop is 12x8. The run will be 9x20. I found a set of oak French doors on FB Marketplace for cheap. We separated them & put one at each end so they have top to bottom glass paned doors to let in lots of light. We are staining the building black, staining the doors a warm walnut & put on a copper colored metal barn roof. Ill repost pic updates as we go. This has been such a creative project. I love it!

We've put in insulation & are covering the walls with this wall paneling.

Wow! It's going to be beautiful. Spacious too!

Welcome to BYC. Where, in general, are you located?

Nice metal roof. Are you doing soffit and ridge vents?

We're doing vents in the top of the high peaks & venting in the soffit.

So blistering summers, cold winters, and a lot of wind?

great looking coop, never say it is the last, there is plenty of time to build more.
