On to the finished chickie coop. It's all done, doesn't really look like all that much but it was a good bit of work and there are some nice little things that Ric did to make it nice and efficient. Half of the outside pen is roofed to keep out some rain and snow. They should have some dry outside space this winter. The other side of the top has two panels that open for easy access. The water buckets hang from the roof panels to keep the girls from kicking dirt in their water. The cinderblock foundation that I laid is designed so rain can drain thru it and there is a heavy gauge wire glued to the inside so nothing can get thru the holes.
