Ok so I do not get to take credit for the basic structure, a friend gave it to me. It was a rabbit house all one long piece, I cut it im half made the doors on the side and stacked it.... works good
Wow, got a few pre-winter chores done. The kids helped run the wheel barrel so we got all 4 layer coops, the duck coop and one of the grow outs mucked out. I was able to spray the coops while they were empty and dust for mites. Freshly stuffed nesting boxes, and fresh hay on the floor. Stiff...
Yes we built my 2 "big coops" in 2017... same basic design just 10x10 instead of 8x12, we used 2x6's for the floor and roof frame with those.
