City Chicken Coop Framing





The work on the hen house has been slow but I am savoring the journey. 

For those of you who may be interested in some of the dimensions and other such stuff here it is:

   length: 72"                                                       

   width: 44"

   height from floor: 48" front, 45" back
   height from ground" 18"

The width and length was determined by the plywood I found on sale. It would have been easier in some respects if I had made it 3' x 6' or 4'x 8' but where is the challenge in standard measurements! It is not perfectly square either but my hen's will be happy for a home where they are not considered for the pot of soup on the stove! And in the end "rickrack" will cover any deficiencies the chicken cottage may have.

The top picture was taken Oct 9, 2012 and the bottom Oct 15, 2012.

This City Cottager's journey continues! Yea for that!
