Chicken Coop

Here are the basic design goals s that I had for the chicken coop:

- South facing window
- Whole side door for easy cleaning - actually I meant to do this but didn't!
- Venting at top
- Sloped roof for drainage
- Offset nest box for easy access
- Portable - no wheels.  Theoretically I could probably drag it with the tractor, but I didn't really meet this goal.
- Modular - remove north side siding and build on.  Maybe.
- Melamine floor for nonporousness.  I actually went with a rubberized wet patch instead.



The coop looks ok.  Not great, but ok.  The chickens seem to like it.  I need to
paint it.
