Getting Closer
All of the wiring is done. Still some things to do inside (roosts, etc) and the exterior covering before it's ready for the new tenants.
Nesting Shelves
A view from the front door through to the nest "boxes" on the back wall.
Shelves
An attempt at a closeup of the nesting shelves.
Basket Shelves
Rather than cut off the excess panel, I folded them down to make shelves to use for baskets, tools, lanterns, etc.
Nesting Area
Rear view of the nesting area.
Shelf and Hanger
A place to place tools, etc at the front of the coop.
Folded Exterior Shelf
Another of my silly shelves
Front Door Open
The front door is just tall enough to squat under.
Front

Panel in Place
Panel in place for dry fit.
Coop Frame
The frame and the hoops of the new chicken coop are set. Next step is to add the nesting shelves, a front door and smaller doors to access the egg shelves. Lots to do. Based on Walter Jeffries fine design.
