Sorry for the bad cell pics......



Tapped into studs on the shop



Preframed, I notched everything and used wood glue for strengthen





Framing









I used olddddddddddddd tar shingles but they were free, so hey, but I bet they work

I used the trim as the reinforcement for the mesh



Door for the pen



Open



Front finished at night

Side with run access



Yes, I know the trim doesn't line up perfect. And its my fault, I did it but the initial cuts line up perfect

Idea of the coon protection



It pisses me off so bad that the mesh doesnt have straight lines in it but there is nothing I can do about it

and.... finally for tonight, the door is built

Looks good

But the roof is gonna leak

If it does, I will quit taking advice from people with short arms

I gave advice based on the information I was provided...

lmao, you probably knew more than I did

Building a custom fit door, is more dfficult than you want it to be, if you want it to be nice and snug

Nice job, buddy.

Nice coop

Well done sir, well done.

Looks great man!!

Good job East!

Thanks guys, still got to build the laying area and treat it tonight. Then will be done till it gets painted.

looks great. your new name should be Bob The Builder.

Next time, call me. Will travel for a cold beer and bourbon. I may drag the short armed man along for a helper for you.

Very nice East! There is nothing like the sound of chickens I just got 4 more so we now have 16!

Good job.

Looks great East, nice work

I offered but he turned me down

You might need these if your chickens run off like those damn ducks did.

Nice coop East !!! I thought this thread was gonna be on how to make some home made chicken scratch.

The original title was suppose to be Chicken Scratch----- "Sales are fixing to go up"

But I guess I left that out.

I got the laying pens done tonight, and transferred the chicks. I need to build some walk ways tomorrow and I should be done. I took some pics tonight, but they suck with it being dark and will get some better ones tomorrow

Looking good, East!

Pretty soon your place will look like the Ponderosa...

You heard of Old McDonald? He ain't got nothing on East McDonald...

With a peep peep here
and a peep peep there

e - i - e - i - oooooooooooo.....
