new coop is finally finished enough for a big reveal!

been working for about 2 months on this big new coop and run expansion and seeing it all finally come together has been such an exhausting joyful ride!

i still have some touch up paint (and full paint on the roof, please imagine any color but orange up there) to do, also adding a new waterer and some extra roosting space and enrichment for the run. but all in all i’m feeling good enough to call it finished(ish)!

modified the plans a little from the popular third coast coop design, mostly just modified the roosting bars and made two doors to the nesting box instead of just one. putting the roosting bars parallel like this means it actually could fit the 12-15 birds the builder claims! if you’re new to chickens and chose this coop to build, PLEASE consider some adjustments to the roosting bars. at least swap out the 1x2s for 2x4s i’m begging

anyway just wanted to share! i’m so proud and also tired 🥹
