Brian built the coop in our side yard. We knew it would be heavy and didn't want to have to move it far!
Joseph thought we built him a play house!

We made the coop to resemble our house. We used the same siding and painted it the same color. Green is my favorite color, so I really love it!
Here Brian is working on the run. It is all enclosed with hardware cloth. We decided to put the coop along our fence where our persimmon tree was(read the earlier post about the persimmon tree!http://keslerfamily.blogspot.com/2007/12/very-busy-december.html ) So we ripped out the tree and some plants to make room for the chickens. The space is an awkward shape, which meant it was more fun for Brian to build!
Elise and Joe!They are so sweet!
Here is the garden view of the finished coop! (Notice the soybean and tomatillo plants!! YUM!)

Brian did a fabulous job!
The roof is designed to be "Green" so it will be full of plants! We thought that would help insulate the coop during our hot summers and give us more space to garden! I can't wait to see the coop with flowers and greens growing on top!

What a nice chicken coop. Fresh eggs can't be far behind...
That coop is really fantastic! It looks great! Fresh eggs can't be far away!
What a nice job Brian did on the design and building. It is so much nicer than we could have imagined.
