Chicken Coop Construction

Well, as our chickies have gotten bigger and the weather slowly reminding us that winter is on the way, we got into action into building a bigger chicken coop for our flock. Our new coop will be 10'x 10'. It will have a full roof on it to cover the chickies even on rainy days and within the covered coop there will be a 4'x 8' fully enclosed coop for protection, with a heat lamp for warmth, roosting perches for sleeping, and 8 nest boxes for egg laying. Unfortunately the rain has slowed down our building progress a little, so we'll utilize that time to go get more supplies we need so when the weather improves we can get it up and completed as soon as possible.
