The Chicken Coop Construction has begun!

I had wood and supplies delivered on Thursday so that I could start building the bird's outdoor chicken coop.  Started on Friday, was out of town Saturday and Sunday, and worked on it more today.  I thought I would be further along by the end of the day today but the 95 degree weather really took the energy out of me.  I think I made good progress nevertheless.  One more weekend (maybe two... for the shingles) and it will be done.

Here are some pictures.  The walls are up for the "house".  The next steps are to put on the roof, doors, windows, trim, and then the chicken wire.

Left side with window cut out.

 Front with Chicken door that leads to the enclosed run which will be surrounded by chicken wire.

 Left side with window and egg access door (bottom part).

 Back door cutout for human entrance to clean out the coop.

View looking down into the enclosed section.

The roof will cover the enclosed area and the run to keep everything dry.  The chickens will also be able to stand in the shade beneath the enclosed area on hot days.
