Shed Rooster Coop | Ana White

Reader Pictures and Whitney Builds:

We did use 2×3’s for the framing and it truly did work out good. They seem to be a little bit of extra sturdy to work with because of they don’t seem to be as ridged as a 2×4. Nevertheless at a worth monetary financial savings of about $0.75 per board it truly saves.

We did use some earlier picket residence home windows and opted to not make the shutters operational. My concern was that the shutters would keep out the daylight that helps keep the chicks warmth inside the winter. So this may be an chance for someone who can provide you with residence home windows. We moreover used some barn picket for the shutters… so cute!

One different change, we did not make the doorway of the nesting subject hinge. From what I’ve study the hens keep their nesting subject fairly clear so it must be easy adequate to wash it from the best. This moreover helps make the nesting subject extra sturdy (my 5 yr earlier nephew was already caught standing in it!).

One totally different change to the nesting subject, I made it shorter. As quickly as we acquired the picket correct as a lot because the coop it was choice to deep and would have been arduous for the hens to get in and out. I shortened sides by 4″ and that left it with a few 3″ drop into the sector.
