Building a Chicken Coop For Our Hens

Tacoma now allows chickens within the city - up to 6, and up to 10 with written permission of bordering neighbors.  We've transformed the old playhouse into a coop for 4, and I'm building a smaller coop for two more.  The little chicks above are Marans, which lay a maroon chocolate colored egg.  Our other breeds are Americana, Orphington, Rhode Island Red, and soon an Isbar. If all goes as planned we'll have eggs that are brown, buff, blue, green and maroon.
