Finally built my own coop

After a year of using a small Amazon coop I wanted an upgrade for my gals.

Salvaged boards from a nearby demo, all in around €300.

I am very happy with the build, kids love climbing inside as well.

Coop opening is hip level to assist with care and cleaning (~78cm). Dimensions are 1.8 x 1.3m height is 2.2m.
