Another weekend of coop building and my design wall

We had another wonderful weekend of coop  building. It was so hot and nice. We had a small shower in the middle of the day yesterday, but after it passed over we were able to continue.

This is the start of the nest box

The front has been added

And the divider

Finally the lid.

We had to hammer the tips of the screws because they were a smidge to long

This is the inner coop door

We have doors to the run that we made. I was relieved that we had just enough of the hardware cloth.

This is our ramp up into the coop. We haven't put it on yet. That will be the very last thing.

We also made a window to close during the winter so it will keep the heat in.

My kiddo and her dog. She is writing a story.

Here are the run doors installed.

It has a roof!

This is the fixed doors. We added flat panels on the sides of the door and put on flat brackets. Can you tell I am a bit paranoid about something getting in?

The asphalt paper for the roof.

And the tiles. These went on a whole lot better and easier than we thought they would. We also got these for free. We were on a walk and saw some people working on a roof and asked what they were doing with their old tiles. The guy had two packs of these tiles that were the wrong color and her gave them to us.

Beginning the painting. The chicks should be outside in the next few days.

On a side note, yesterday I went into my basement and found one of the chickens running around...outside of the brooder. I think it is time for them to be out. They are now over six weeks old.

This is my design wall piece. I am working on a Challenge Quilt.
