Here we are with the coop on Thursday the 23rd:

In the above you can see the basic chicken coop frame. Three rectangles, about 3′ x 6′, with posts. Since we’ll have a shed roof, one side is 4′ high, the other is 5′ high.

On Monday the 27th we have this:

Things are hot in Austin, which explains the sleeveless shirt and the bandana. In this photo you can see that we have the roof rafters in place (complete with birds mouth cuts), and the frames for the doors in place.

As of today, we have the doors complete (more to come-there is some Super Secret Stuff involved), and the inside mounting stuff is coming along. Over the weekend we’ll be working on the hen boxes (where they lay the eggs), getting the mesh installed, and finishing up the panels on the doors.
