Chicken Coop Completion

Well its finally done! thanks to everyone who lent a hand or a suggestion. While cleaning up the garage after the project, Lula helped me track down the mouse/rat above. He was about the size of a softball. Wounder what he's been eating, I set out traps just in case there are others around. Sorry PETA.

I took a few days off from construction but last night was able to jump back in and got the roof complete. Only thing remaining is the wheels and a few side vents.

Chicken Coop Day 7

Not much got done last night... Lined the inside roosting and nesting box with vinyl to make clean up easier. You can see how the trap door works here as well.
