The Coop At Last!

Here are, finally, pictures of the coop.  We still need to finish and paint the trim, but for all intensive purposes it is fully functional!  Honestly, I was surprised that the chickens figured out the ramp within a matter of minutes.  Well, all of them but one.  We went out around 8:00 to close the door and all of them were in except one lone meat bird.  He was sitting in the run, chirping like crazy.  He kept pacing around the ramp, like he knew that ramp had something to do with reuniting him with his friends, but he wasn't sure how.  So we ended up just grabbing him and tossing him in the coop.  Tomorrow is another day, my friend!
You have to imagine it with white trim!

 Easy access to the laying boxes

The roost! Laying boxes will be in the area you see in the back (to the left)


Enjoying the view
