That looks just like mine. Funny that they used a net to catch it. I can't blame them because I was trying to use a beach towel to catch that hen before I had any experience with them.

Chicken coop has entered that stage where I quickly threw together a frame from my head because this will be good enough and it's just a chicken coop. But now there are certain design elements that I want, proper eave and rake overhangs, that are easy enough to do on a traditional build, but now I have to find a way to properly build the design features, barge rafters, from a non-ideal base. This is complicated by the fact that my framing experience pretty much begins and ends at doorways and closets. Not that big of a deal, but figuring it out has caused a delay in construction.

Why not pick a plan from the many on internet? Download and build. Many even have materials list.

For as many times as I've looked for coop plans, I've never actually found many. Well, that's not quite true, but none that were really what I wanted. Either too big, too small, or in a configuration that would not be idea for my space. Plus, I figured I could do it on my own and that's half the fun right?

I've been debating if I can have a chicken run without a cover, or at least not entirely closed. Doesn't look like it.

If you make it so any opening is small enough they can't fly out after eating one of your chickens, you're ahead of the game.

God Bless OBC, you got the digits of you want to talk or need anything

So anyone who's been posting with me on here long enough knows that I love learning new things. Currently I'm over the moon about bird mouth rafter cuts and barge/lookout rafters, which I've wanted to build for a while.
