Finally got around to finishing the chicken coop. A big thank you to Ben for helping set the posts, running the fencing, and bringing over the reciprocating saw to cut the openings in the double walls. The construction of the coop was pretty simple. Using the free doghouse I acquired from Craigslist, I attached a nesting box (built from donated plywood), cut a large door in the back for cleaning/maintencance, and attached a hinged door for the front. I also built a gate out of scrap wood and covered it with extra fencing.
Total Cost: about $20 for hardware
I'm still working out the ramp setup, but it looks like we are ready to pickup the chickens this weekend. 
looking good!
