Building a coop is not an easy job - particularly when you're not a carpenter - but you can do anything if you set your mind to it. The run and the small chicken house were built by my beekeeper friend. He is a carpenter but you can only ask for so much.
The nest boxes are on the end of the small house and can be accessed from the outside - really great idea. The top lifts up which I'll show on another day.
This part - the roosting coop was built by me and at no cost - free labor and materials. These are privacy fence panels - worked out to be about the right size - the little hens will stay nice and dry in there.
The run is attached with wire and the opening for them to go and come - the front door for access. I put a double layer of heavy duty plastic on the top and had some old shingles to go over that so it shouldn't leak.
Not bad for not knowing what the heck you were doing and the little hens are very happy in their new home.
